A value like 3/135, or about 2.22%, might describe a small share of people in a survey, a few defective products in a large shipment, or a handful of rainy days over a long period. It represents something that happens occasionally but is not completely rare.

To picture it quickly, imagine 135 equal items with only 3 highlighted. You can also estimate it as a little more than 2 out of every 100, so it is just over two percent.

A common mistake is to think 3/135 is the same as 3%, because the numerator is 3. The denominator matters just as much: three out of 135 is a much smaller portion than three out of 100.
