6480/10800 = 60%
A value like 6480/10800, or 60%, can show up in everyday life when 60 out of every 100 people choose the same option. For example, a school might find that 60% of students bring lunch from home, or a store might sell 60% of its tickets before an event.
To picture 60% quickly, imagine a group of ten equal parts with six shaded and four unshaded. It is a little more than half, so you can estimate it as a solid majority without thinking of it as nearly the whole amount.
One common mistake is confusing 60% with 6%, since both use the same digit. Remember that 60% means 60 out of 100, while 6% means only 6 out of 100.
