A value like 53/87, or 60.92%, could describe how many students in a class chose a certain lunch option or how often a bus arrived on time. It means a little more than six out of every ten cases.
To picture it quickly, imagine a bar split into ten equal parts: a bit more than six parts would be shaded. You can also think of it as slightly above three-fifths.
