A value like 49/79, or 62.03%, might describe how often a basketball player makes shots or how many people in a survey chose one option. It’s a little more than three out of every five.

To picture it quickly, imagine 79 small items split into a group of 49 and the rest. The group of 49 would cover a bit more than three-fifths of all the items.

One common mistake is treating 62.03% as exactly 62%, even when a precise answer matters. It’s also easy to confuse the fraction’s top and bottom numbers, which changes what the fraction describes.
