A fraction like 35/86, or about 40.7%, might describe how many students in a class prefer a certain activity or how often a product is in stock. It’s a little less than half, so it can help show that something is common without being the majority.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 equal parts: about 41 would be shaded. You can also think of it as just under two out of every five.
