Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 58/98, or 59.18%, could describe how many students in a class chose a certain lunch, or how many items in a shipment arrived on time. It gives a quick sense of how much of the whole meets a particular condition.
To picture it, think of a little less than 6 out of every 10 things. It’s close to 60%, but not quite there.
A common mix-up is to treat 58/98 as if it were 58%, because the top number is 58. The bottom number matters too: the fraction is just under three-fifths of the whole.
