A value like 5/82, or about 6.1%, might describe how often something happens in a small survey or what share of a group chose a certain option. For example, it could mean that 5 out of 82 students prefer a particular snack.

To picture it quickly, think of about 6 people out of every 100. That’s a little more than 1 out of 20, so it’s a small share, but not tiny.

One common mix-up is treating 6.1% as 6.1 people, even when the group has a different size. The percentage is a proportion; the actual number of people depends on how large the group is.
