9/98 = ≈9.18%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 9/98, or about 9.18%, could describe the share of customers who choose a particular option in a survey. It can also show up when tracking things like the portion of a class that joins a club.
To picture it quickly, think of about 9 people out of every 100. That is a little less than one person in ten, since one tenth is 10%.
One point of confusion is treating 9.18% as exactly 9%, even though the extra fraction of a percent can matter in large groups. Also, 9/98 is close to, but not exactly, 9/100.
