A value like 53/83, or about 63.86%, could describe how many students in a class chose a particular lunch option or how often a bus arrives on time. It’s a little under two-thirds, so it represents a solid majority without being close to everyone.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 items and shade about 64 of them. You can also think of it as slightly less than two out of every three items.

A common point of confusion is treating 63.86% as if it means 63.86 out of 83; the percentage is a share out of 100. Also, rounding it to 64% is usually fine, but the more exact value may matter when comparing close results.
