5/264 = ≈1.89%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 5/264 can describe a small everyday share, such as 5 defective items in a shipment of 264 or 5 students choosing a certain option in a large survey. That portion is about 1.89%, so it represents a little less than 2 out of every 100.
To picture 5/264 quickly, imagine dividing 264 objects into 100 equal-sized groups in your mind and noticing that only about two would belong to the selected group. Another useful estimate is to think of it as roughly 1 in 53, which makes clear that the event is uncommon but not extremely rare.
A common mistake is to treat 1.89% as if it means 1.89 whole items, but percentages describe a share of a total. If the total is small, you may not be able to have exactly 1.89 items; the fraction makes sense when counting a larger group or describing an average rate.
