To picture it quickly, imagine 51 small squares with 49 colored in and only 2 left blank. It’s just a little less than a full set, or roughly 96 out of every 100.

One common mix-up is treating 49/51 as exactly 100% because the top and bottom numbers are close. But the two missing parts still count, so the fraction is slightly less than a whole.
