A value like 3/43, or about 6.98%, can show up when 3 items out of a group of 43 meet some condition. For example, it could describe 3 defective products in a shipment of 43 or 3 students in a class of 43 who are absent.

To picture 3/43 quickly, imagine a group of about 40 to 45 objects with only 3 highlighted. It is a little less than 7%, so you can think of it as roughly 7 out of every 100 items.

A common mistake is treating 3/43 as close to 3%, because the numerator is 3. The denominator matters just as much: three out of 43 is much larger than three out of 100, even though both fractions have a 3 on top.
