A value like 30/71, or 42.25%, could describe how many people in a small survey chose a certain answer. It might also represent the share of a group that finished a task or qualified for a program.

To picture it quickly, think of a little less than half of a whole. On a 10-by-10 grid, it would cover a bit more than 42 squares.

One common mistake is to treat the 30 as the percentage and overlook the 71 people or items in the full group. The denominator matters: 30 out of 71 is a different share from 30 out of 100.
