A value like 46/87, or about 52.87%, could describe how many students in a class chose a certain lunch option or how often a bus arrives on time. It’s a little more than half, so it can show a narrow majority.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 items and shade just over 50 of them. Since 52.87% is close to 53%, you can estimate it as about 53 out of every 100.
