A fraction like 246/300 can describe a survey where 246 out of 300 people choose the same answer. It could also represent an attendance rate, a test score, or the percentage of products that pass a quality check: 82%.

To picture 82% quickly, imagine a group of 100 items with about 82 shaded and 18 unshaded. It is a little more than four-fifths, so you can estimate it as close to 80% while remembering that it is slightly higher.
