5/96 = ≈5.21%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 5/96, or about 5.21%, can show up when a small group makes up part of a much larger group. For example, it could describe 5 out of 96 students choosing the same lunch option, or 5 defective items in a shipment of 96.
To picture it quickly, imagine a group split into roughly 100 equal parts. A little over 5 parts would be shaded, so 5/96 is just slightly more than one-twentieth of the whole.
A common mistake is treating 5/96 as exactly 5%, since the numbers are close but not equal. It is also easy to think the fraction is larger because 96 is a big number, even though a larger denominator makes each part smaller.
