6/42 = ≈14.29%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 6/42, or about 14.29%, could describe how often a bus arrives late in a group of recorded trips. It might also show the share of people in a survey who chose a particular answer.
To picture it, imagine 42 equal items and set aside 6 of them. That’s a little more than one item out of every seven, or roughly one out of every seven people in a group.
A common point of confusion is thinking 6/42 means 6 out of 100 because the numerator is 6. The denominator matters: here, the 6 parts are out of 42 total, not 100.
