A value like 60/85 can show up when 60 out of 85 people choose the same option in a survey, or when 60 of 85 items pass a quality check. That means the result is 70.59%, so a little more than seven out of every ten people or items are included.

To picture 60/85 quickly, imagine a group of 85 objects with 60 marked or shaded. Since 60 is close to 68, which is four-fifths of 85, the fraction is a bit below 80% and lands near 71%.

A common mistake is treating 60/85 as if it were 60%, because the numerator is 60. The denominator matters too: the fraction compares 60 with a total of 85, not with 100.
