A value like 89/174, or about 51.15%, can show up when a little more than half of a group meets a condition. For example, it could represent 89 students out of 174 choosing a certain lunch, completing a survey, or passing a test.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group split into two nearly equal halves. Since 89 is just slightly more than half of 174, the fraction is a little above 50%, so you can estimate it as “about half.”
