9/84 = ≈10.71%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 9/84 can show up when 9 out of 84 people choose a certain option in a survey, or when 9 items in a shipment of 84 have a special feature. That means the group represents about 10.71% of the total.
To picture 9/84 quickly, think of 84 objects divided into roughly ten equal groups, with about 8 or 9 objects in each group. Since 9 is a little more than one-tenth of 84, the fraction is just over 10%.
A common mistake is to think 9/84 is close to 9%, simply because the numerator is 9. The denominator matters too, because the 9 is being compared with 84 rather than 100.
