A value like 70/79, or about 88.61%, might describe how many questions someone got right on a quiz or how many items in a batch passed inspection. It means the result is strong, but not perfect.

To picture it quickly, imagine nearly 9 out of every 10 things meeting the mark. It’s a little less than 90%, so you can estimate it as just under nine-tenths.
