To picture 5/64 quickly, think of a whole divided into 64 equal pieces, with only 5 of those pieces shaded. It is a little less than 1/8, since 1/8 is 8 out of 64, so 5/64 is just under 8%.

A common mistake is to treat 5/64 as if it were close to 5%, because the numerator is 5. The denominator matters just as much: five out of 64 is noticeably larger than five out of 100, which is 5%.
