A fraction like 8/102 could describe 8 students out of 102 choosing the same lunch option, or 8 defective items in a shipment of 102. In percentage terms, that is about 7.84%, so it represents a fairly small part of the whole.

A common mistake is treating 8/102 as if it were 8/10 or 80%, simply because the numerator is 8. The denominator matters just as much, since 102 is much larger than 10 and makes the overall share much smaller.
