A value like 3/74, or about 4.05%, could describe the share of people in a small survey who chose a particular answer. It might also show up as a small portion of items in a batch that have a certain feature.

To picture it quickly, imagine about 4 shaded squares in a grid of 100. That’s close to 3 shaded items in a group of 74, so it’s a little more than 4 out of every 100.

A common mistake is to think 3/74 means about 3%, because the top number is 3. But the size of the whole group matters too, so the fraction is closer to 4% than 3%.
