A value like 5/91, or about 5.49%, can show up when a small share of a group has a certain feature. For example, it could describe 5 out of 91 students choosing a particular club, customers selecting one product, or survey respondents giving the same answer.

To picture 5/91 quickly, imagine 91 people standing in a group and only 5 of them stepping forward. It is a little more than 5 out of every 100, so you can estimate it as roughly one person in 18.

A common mistake is treating 5/91 as if it were close to 5%, since the numerator is 5. The denominator matters too, and because 91 is less than 100, the percentage is slightly higher than 5%, not exactly 5%.
