A fraction like 48/225, or about 21.33%, could describe the share of students in a school who ride the bus, products in a store that are on sale, or survey responses choosing one option. It represents a little more than one-fifth of the total.

To picture it quickly, imagine dividing a group into five roughly equal parts and shading just over one part. Since 20% is one-fifth, 21.33% is only slightly larger than that.

A common mistake is to treat 21.33% as if it were closer to one-quarter, or 25%, than it really is. It is also easy to confuse the numerator and denominator; the 48 is the selected portion, while 225 is the whole group.
