A fraction like 8/86 could describe how many people in a group chose a certain option on a survey. That’s about 9.3%, so it represents a small share of the group.

To picture it quickly, think of about 9 people out of every 100, or just a little less than 1 in 10. It’s close enough to one tenth for a quick estimate, but slightly smaller.
