A value like 53/89, or 59.55%, might describe how many students in a class chose a certain option or how often a player made a shot. It’s a little more than half, so it can represent a narrow majority.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 items: about 60 would be included and 40 would not. You can also think of it as just under three-fifths.

A common point of confusion is treating 59.55% as exactly 60%. That’s usually fine for a rough estimate, but the small difference can matter when precision is important.
