A value like 490/600, or about 81.67%, could describe a test score, a survey result, or the number of products that pass a quality check. For example, if 490 out of 600 students submitted a form, a little more than four out of every five students took part.

You can picture 81.67% as about 82 shaded squares out of 100, leaving roughly 18 unshaded. A quick estimate is “just over four-fifths,” since four-fifths is 80%.
