A value like 87/653, or about 13.32%, could describe how many people in a survey chose one particular answer. It might also represent the share of defective items in a large shipment or the percentage of students who joined a certain club.

You can picture 13.32% as a little more than 1 out of every 8 people or items. On a group of 100, it would be close to 13, so the fraction represents a noticeable minority rather than about half.

A common mistake is treating 13.32% as 13.32 times the whole instead of 13.32 out of 100. It is also easy to assume that 87/653 is exactly 13.32%, even though the percentage is rounded and the fraction gives the more precise value.
