To picture 26/243 quickly, imagine a group of about 250 people and shade or select around 27 of them. That gives a sense that the amount is a little more than one-tenth, but still far from one-quarter or one-fifth.

A common mistake is treating 10.7% as exactly 10%, even though the extra 0.7 percentage points can matter in a large group. Another point of confusion is assuming 26/243 is close to 26/200; the smaller denominator makes the actual fraction noticeably less than 13%.
