8/60 = ≈13.33%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 8/60, or about 13.33%, can show up in everyday situations such as a survey where 8 out of 60 people choose the same answer. It could also describe a small portion of a class, a group, or a month’s activities.
To picture 8/60 quickly, imagine 60 items divided into six groups of 10, with 8 items highlighted. It is a little more than one out of every ten items, but clearly less than one out of every five.
A common mistake is to treat 8/60 as if it were 8%, since the numerator is 8. The denominator matters because it tells you the size of the whole group, so 8 out of 60 represents more than 8 out of 100.
