A value like 5/91, or about 5.49%, might describe a small share of a group, such as 5 students out of 91 choosing the same option. It could also represent a low rate of defective products, survey responses, or people attending an event.

To picture 5.49% quickly, imagine a little more than 5 people in every group of 100. Since it is close to 5%, you can estimate it as about 1 out of every 20 people.

A common mistake is treating 5/91 as if it were 5/100, which would be exactly 5%. Because 91 is smaller than 100, the fraction is slightly larger than 5%, not slightly smaller.
