The fraction 38/48 is equal to 79.17% when converted to a percentage. This percentage represents how much of the whole (48) is taken up by the part (38). It's a way to express the fraction as parts per hundred, which can be easier to understand in some contexts.
When we look at 79.17%, we can see that it's pretty close to 80%, or four-fifths of the whole. This means that 38/48 represents a significant portion of the total, more than three-quarters but not quite four-fifths. In practical terms, if you had 48 items and took away 38 of them, you'd be left with only about one-fifth of the original amount.
