59/60 as a percentage is 98.33%. This value shows just how close the fraction is to a whole number, with only a tiny part missing.
Being over 98 percent means the fraction represents almost everything in a set. If you had 60 pieces of something and you kept 59, you would have retained 98.33% of the original amount.
In everyday situations, such a high percentage can be useful for showing near‑complete success, like a test score of 59 out of 60 or a product that meets almost all quality standards. It’s a quick way to communicate that only a very small portion is left out.
