A value like 49/489, or about 10.02%, could describe a small share of people choosing one option in a survey. It might also represent items with a certain feature, such as defective products in a large shipment or students who participate in a particular activity.

To picture it quickly, think of a group of 100 people with about 10 of them highlighted. Since 10.02% is just slightly above 10%, 49/489 is very close to one-tenth of the whole.

A common mistake is to read 49/489 as if it were close to 49%, because the numerator is 49. The denominator matters just as much: 49 is being compared with a much larger total of 489, so the portion is only about one-tenth.
