30/42 = ≈71.43%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 30/42 can show up when 30 out of 42 people choose a certain option in a survey. It could also describe a team winning 30 of 42 games or a student answering 30 of 42 questions correctly, which is about 71.43%.
To picture 30/42 quickly, imagine a little more than seven out of every ten items being shaded or selected. Since 30 is close to 29.4, which would be exactly seven-tenths of 42, the fraction is just above 70%.
A common mistake is thinking 30/42 is the same as 30%, because the numerator is 30. The 30 represents the part, while 42 represents the whole, so the percentage depends on comparing those two numbers.
