A value like 79/92, or about 85.87%, could describe how often a bus arrives on time or how many questions someone gets right on a test. It means the result is strong, but it still falls short of a perfect score.

To picture it quickly, think of a little less than 86 out of every 100 things. That’s close to seven-eighths, so you can imagine most of a whole with a small piece missing.
