A value like 62/70, or about 88.57%, could describe getting 62 questions correct out of 70 on a test. It might also represent finishing 62 of 70 tasks, attending 62 of 70 classes, or having 62 successful attempts out of 70.

To picture it quickly, think of 70 as a whole group with only 8 missing. Since 62 is fairly close to 70, the fraction is just under nine-tenths, or a little less than 90%.

A common mistake is treating 62/70 as exactly 90%, even though it is slightly lower. Another point of confusion is that the fraction cannot be read as 62%; the denominator, 70, shows the total number of parts.
