The fraction 45/62 represents a little more than seven-tenths of a whole, or 72.58%. A value like this might show up when 45 out of 62 students submit a permission form, 45 of 62 products pass inspection, or a survey finds that about three-quarters of people support an idea.

To picture it quickly, imagine a bar divided into ten equal sections: 45/62 would fill about seven sections and a small part of an eighth. It is closer to 75% than to 50%, but not quite as high as three-quarters.

A common mistake is to treat 45/62 as exactly 75% because 45 and 62 are fairly close to the numbers in the fraction 3/4. The actual value is slightly lower, so rounding it to 73% is more accurate than calling it 75% without explanation.
