The fraction 59/82 is equal to 71.95% when converted to a percentage and rounded to two decimal places. This means that if you had 82 items and took 59 of them, you'd have about 72% of the total. It's a bit more than two-thirds but not quite three-quarters of the whole.
In everyday situations, you might see this kind of fraction used to describe things like test scores, sales figures, or progress on a project. For example, if a student got 59 questions right out of 82 on a test, their score would be approximately 72%. Or if a salesperson closed 59 deals out of 82 potential clients, they'd have a success rate of about 72% as well.
