A value like 70/130, or about 53.85%, can show up when 70 out of 130 people choose a certain option in a survey. It could also describe attendance, completed tasks, successful attempts, or products sold during a day.

You can picture it as a little more than half of a group. Since half of 130 is 65, 70 is just five more than half, so the fraction is close to 54%.

A common mistake is calling 70/130 exactly 50% because 70 seems close to half of 130. It is actually higher than half, and rounding 53.85% to 54% is reasonable, while rounding it all the way down to 50% loses useful information.
