8/72 = ≈11.11%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 8/72, or about 11.11%, can show up when 8 people out of a group of 72 choose the same option in a survey. It could also describe 8 defective items in a shipment of 72 or 8 students absent from a school event.
To picture it quickly, imagine dividing a group of 72 into nine equal groups of 8. One of those nine groups represents 8/72, so the amount is a little more than one-tenth of the whole.
A common mistake is to think 8/72 means 8.72% because the numbers are written next to each other. The fraction means 8 parts out of 72 total parts, and reducing it to 1/9 makes it easier to recognize that it is about 11.11%.
