5/31 = ≈16.13%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 5/31, or about 16.13%, might describe 5 people out of a group of 31 choosing the same option in a survey. It could also represent a small share of students in a class, customers at a store, or days in a month when something happens.
To picture 5/31 quickly, imagine 31 equal squares with 5 of them shaded. It is a little less than one-sixth, since one-sixth is about 16.7%, so you can estimate it as roughly 16 out of every 100.
A common mistake is to round 16.13% too early and treat it as exactly 16%, especially when precision matters. Also, 5/31 is not the same as 5/30, even though the denominators are close; the extra one changes the percentage slightly.
