The fraction 48/81 can be expressed as a percentage: 59.26%. This percentage is rounded to the nearest two decimal places for simplicity. When we think about fractions as parts of a whole, 48/81 represents about three-fifths or just over half of the total.
In everyday situations, percentages are often more intuitive than fractions. For example, if a student got 48 out of 81 questions correct on a test, saying they scored 59.26% gives a clearer picture of their performance. This percentage falls between 50% and 60%, showing that the student answered more than half of the questions correctly, but didn't quite reach the 60% mark.
