A value like 55/85, or about 64.71%, might describe how many questions you got right on an 85-question test. It could also show how much of a project is finished or how many people in a group chose one option.

To picture it quickly, think of it as a little less than two-thirds. Two-thirds is about 66.7%, so 64.71% is just slightly below that.
