A value like 21/83, or about 25.3%, could describe how many students in a school club ride the bus or how many items in a shipment need extra checking. It’s a little more than one quarter, so it can help make a quick sense of a group’s size.

To picture it, imagine shading just over one of four equal sections of a shape. Since a quarter is 25%, 25.3% is only a tiny bit more than that.
