A value like 505/592, or about 85.3%, could describe a school attendance rate, the portion of a project completed, or the percentage of customers who are satisfied. It means that a little more than five out of every six people or items fit into the group being counted.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of 100 objects with about 85 shaded and 15 unshaded. You can also estimate it as close to 85%, since it is slightly above five-sixths, which is about 83.3%.

A common mistake is treating 85.3% as if it means exactly 85 out of every 100, when it is a little higher than that. Another point of confusion is assuming the fraction is close to 100% just because the numerator and denominator are both large; their relative sizes are what matter.
