267/445 = 60%
A fraction like 267/445, or 60%, can show up in everyday situations such as a test score, a survey result, or the amount of a project that has been completed. For example, if 60% of students prefer one lunch option, that means about 6 out of every 10 students chose it.
To picture 60% quickly, imagine a group of 10 equal parts with 6 shaded and 4 unshaded. It is a little more than half, but not close to three-fourths.
A common mistake is to think that 60% means 60 items no matter how large the total is. The percentage describes a portion of the whole, so 60% of 20 items and 60% of 1,000 items are very different numbers.
