300/480 = 62.5%
The fraction 300/480 represents 62.5%, a little more than three-fifths of a whole. You might see a value like this when 300 out of 480 students complete a survey, 300 out of 480 seats are filled, or a phone battery is about 62.5% charged.
To picture it quickly, imagine a rectangle divided into eight equal parts. Since 62.5% is five of those eight parts, you can think of it as more than half but less than three-quarters.
A common mistake is to treat 62.5% as if it were close to 75% just because both are above half. It is actually exactly 12.5 percentage points below 75%, so the difference can matter when comparing grades, attendance, discounts, or progress.
