A fraction like 78/118, or about 66.1%, could describe how many students in a school prefer a certain lunch option. It might also represent the share of a budget already spent, products sold during a promotion, or people who completed a survey.

You can picture 66.1% as about two-thirds of a group. For a quick estimate, imagine dividing 118 items into three nearly equal parts and shading a little less than two of those parts.

A common mistake is treating 66.1% as if it means 66.1 items, even when the total is not 100. The fraction means 78 out of 118, so the actual number of items depends on the size of the whole group.
