The fraction 47/48 expressed as a percentage is 97.92%. This value shows just how close the fraction is to a whole one.
When you look at 47 parts out of 48, you can see it’s almost a complete set. In everyday terms, it means you have nearly everything, missing only a tiny piece.
In practical situations, such a high percentage might represent a very high success rate, an almost full tank of fuel, or a near‑perfect score on a test. It’s useful to think of it as “just under 100%”.
Because the number is rounded to two decimal places, you get a clear and tidy figure that’s easy to read and compare with other percentages.
