A fraction like 6/196 could describe six people out of a group of 196, such as six students who bring lunch from home on a certain day. That is about 3.06%, so it represents a small share of the whole group.

To picture it quickly, imagine 196 tiny squares with only 6 shaded in. You can also estimate it as about 3 out of every 100, which makes it easier to recognize as a little more than one person in 33.

A common mistake is to treat 6/196 as 6%, simply because the numerator is 6. The denominator matters just as much, since the six items are being compared with a much larger total.
