A fraction like 349/487, or about 71.66%, could describe how many students turned in an assignment, how much of a project is finished, or the portion of a budget already spent. It represents a little more than seven out of every ten parts.

To picture it quickly, imagine a row of 100 squares with about 72 shaded in. You can also estimate it as roughly three-quarters, though it is slightly less than 75%.
