306/1242 = ≈24.64%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 306/1242, or about 24.64%, could describe a survey where roughly one out of every four people chooses a certain answer. It might also represent the share of a school’s students who participate in a club or the portion of a household budget spent on food.
To picture 24.64% quickly, think of a quarter, which is 25%. This value is just a tiny bit less than one-fourth, so you can imagine shading about 25 out of every 100 squares.
A common mistake is to treat 24.64% as if it were almost 24% or to round it too early. Also, remember that the fraction is less than one because 306 is smaller than 1242, so the percentage must be below 100%.
