A value like 33/85, or about 38.82%, could describe how many students in a class chose a certain lunch option or how often a bus arrived on time over several weeks. It’s a little under two out of every five.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 small squares: shade about 39 of them. You can also think of it as just under 40%, which is a bit less than two-fifths.
