A value like 47/66, or about 71.21%, could describe how many students passed a quiz, how often a bus arrived on time, or the portion of a project that has been completed. It represents a little more than seven out of every ten.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of 66 objects with 47 shaded in. Since 2/3 is about 66.7%, 47/66 is noticeably higher than two-thirds but still well below three-quarters, or 75%.
