5/31 = ≈16.13%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 5/31, or about 16.13%, can describe everyday situations, such as how many days in a month someone bikes to school or how often a certain snack is picked from a group of choices. It’s a little less than one day out of every six.
To picture it quickly, imagine 100 dots and shade about 16 of them. You can also think of it as roughly one-sixth, which is about 17%, so 5/31 is just a bit smaller.
One common mistake is to treat 16.13% as exactly 16%, even when a small difference matters. The decimal part is usually minor, but it can add up when the value is used for a large group or repeated many times.
