A value like 9/47, or about 19.15%, might describe how many students in a class prefer a certain lunch option or how often a household uses a particular service. It’s a little less than one out of every five people or times.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 equal parts and shade about 19 of them. You can also think of it as close to one-fifth, which is 20%.

A common mistake is to treat 19.15% as exactly one-fifth. It’s close, but a little smaller, so that difference can matter when you’re working with a large group or amount.
