The fraction 24/58 can be expressed as a percentage: 41.38%. This percentage is rounded to the nearest two decimal places for simplicity. When we think about fractions as parts of a whole, 24/58 represents about 41 out of every 100 parts.
In everyday situations, percentages are often more intuitive than fractions. For example, if 24 out of 58 students in a class prefer pizza over burgers, we could say that roughly 41% of the class likes pizza better. This makes it easier to compare preferences or understand proportions quickly, especially when dealing with larger numbers or different group sizes.
