6/20 = 30%
The fraction 6/20, or 30%, can describe everyday things, such as 6 out of 20 students choosing the same lunch or 6 of 20 items being on sale. It’s a way to show a portion of a group.
To picture it quickly, imagine 10 equal parts and shade about 3 of them. It’s a little less than one-third of the whole.
A common point of confusion is thinking 30% means 30 items. It actually means 30 out of every 100, so the number of items depends on the size of the group.
