To picture 8/131 quickly, imagine 131 dots with only 8 of them highlighted. You can also estimate it as a little more than 6 out of every 100, or roughly 1 out of every 16 people.

A common mistake is to think the fraction is closer to 8% just because the numerator is 8. The denominator matters just as much, and because 131 is much larger than 100, the actual percentage is lower than 8%.
