A value like 6.02% might show up as the share of customers who choose a certain product, or the portion of a class that joins a club. It’s a small part of a whole, but it can still matter when the group is large.

To picture 5/83, imagine 83 small pieces with 5 shaded. That’s a little more than 6 out of every 100, or roughly 1 out of every 17.
