7/42 = ≈16.67%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A share of 16.67% might show up when about one out of every six people in a group chooses the same option. For example, it could describe how many students pick a certain snack in a class survey.
To picture 7/42 quickly, think of one part out of six equal parts, or roughly one person in a group of six. That makes it a little less than one-fifth of the whole.
One common point of confusion is that 16.67% is rounded, so it is not perfectly exact. Also, 7/42 may look different from 1/6, even though they represent the same amount.
