A fraction like 28/81, or about 34.57%, can show up when roughly one out of every three people in a group chooses the same option. For example, it could describe the share of students who walk to school, customers who prefer a certain product, or survey participants who agree with a statement.

To picture 28/81 quickly, think of it as a little more than one-third. Since one-third is about 33.33%, 34.57% is just slightly higher, so shading about 35 out of every 100 squares gives a useful estimate.
