A value like 78/76, or about 102.63%, can show up when something goes slightly beyond its original target. For example, a store might sell 78 items when it expected to sell 76, or a runner might finish a little more than the planned distance.

To picture it quickly, think of 78/76 as one whole group of 76 plus 2 extra parts. That makes it just a little more than 100%, closer to 103% than to 110%.

A common mistake is assuming that a fraction with a larger top number must be much greater than one. Here, the numbers are close, so 78/76 is only slightly above 1, not anywhere near double the amount.
