A value like 5/36, or about 13.89%, might describe how often a certain result appeared in a small survey or how much of a weekly schedule is set aside for one activity. It’s a little less than one-seventh of the whole.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 equal spots: about 14 would be shaded. You can also think of it as a bit more than one-eighth, since one-eighth is 12.5%.

One common point of confusion is treating 13.89% as exactly 14%, especially when precision matters. Also, 5/36 is not the same as 5.36%; the slash means “five out of thirty-six,” not a decimal point.
