To picture 43/84 quickly, imagine dividing something into 84 equal parts and shading 43 of them. Since half of 84 is 42, 43/84 is just one part more than one-half, making it slightly above 50%.

A common mistake is to treat 43/84 as exactly one-half because 43 is close to half of 84. It is actually a little larger than one-half, so rounding it to 50% is useful for a quick estimate but not for an answer that needs precision.
