A value like 29/51, or about 56.86%, could describe how many students in a class prefer a certain activity or how often a bus arrives on time. It’s a little more than half, so it represents a slim majority.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 people: about 57 would be in the group, while 43 would not. You can also think of it as just under three out of every five.

One common mistake is to treat 56.86% as exactly 57% or as a large majority. Rounding to 57% is handy for a quick estimate, but the original value is still a bit less than that.
