7/10 = 70%
A value of 7/10, or 70%, might show up as a test score, a battery level, or the share of people who prefer one option. It describes a solid majority, but not everyone.
To picture it quickly, imagine 10 equal slices of pizza and count 7 of them. You can also think of a nearly full bar with about three-tenths left empty.
One common mistake is treating 70% as if it means 70 out of 70, rather than 70 out of 100. It also doesn’t always mean “good”—70% of a task finished is progress, but 70% on a quiz may be a different story.
