48/750 = 6.4%
A fraction like 48/750 could describe a small share of people in a survey, products in a shipment with a certain defect, or students who choose a particular activity. In these situations, the amount represents 6.4% of the total.
To picture 6.4%, imagine a group of 100 people with about 6 or 7 of them highlighted. It is a little more than 6 out of every 100, or roughly 1 out of 16 people.
A common mistake is to treat 6.4% as 64% because both numbers contain the same digits. The percent sign means the amount is measured out of 100, so 6.4% is a small portion rather than more than half.
