The fraction 5/34 as a percentage is 14.71%. This number tells you how much of a whole 5 parts out of 34 represent when you look at it on a scale of 100.
In everyday terms, 5/34 is a small slice of a whole—just a little over one‑tenth. It can appear in situations like a recipe that calls for 5 cups of an ingredient out of a total of 34 cups, or a class where 5 out of 34 students chose the same answer.
Knowing the percentage makes it easier to compare with other numbers. For example, if another group has 8 out of 34, that’s about 23.53%, which is clearly larger than 14.71%. Percentages let you see differences at a glance without working with fractions directly.
