25/240 = ≈10.42%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 25/240 can show up in everyday life when 25 out of 240 people in a survey choose the same answer. It could also describe 25 defective products in a shipment of 240, which is about 10.42%.
To picture 25/240 quickly, imagine a group of 240 objects divided into ten roughly equal groups; 25 objects would be about one group. Since 10% of 240 is close to 24, the fraction is just a little more than one-tenth.
A common mistake is treating 25/240 as 25%, because the numerator is 25. The denominator matters too: the 25 represents only a small part of the full group of 240.
