71/72 = ≈98.61%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 71/72, or about 98.61%, can describe something that is almost completely successful or complete. For example, a school might report that 71 out of 72 students submitted a permission form, or a machine might work properly during 71 out of 72 test runs.
To picture 71/72 quickly, imagine a strip divided into 72 equal parts with only one tiny part missing. You can also estimate it as just under 100%, since the missing amount is about 1.39%.
A common mistake is to treat 71/72 as exactly 100% because the difference is so small. It is extremely close to the whole, but one missing part still matters when accuracy or fairness is important.
