A value like 97/98, or about 98.98%, can describe something that is almost completely successful or complete. For example, a school might report that 97 out of 98 students submitted an assignment, or a factory might say that 97 out of 98 products passed inspection.

To picture 97/98 quickly, imagine a group of 98 objects with only one missing or different. It is just a little less than 100%, so estimating it as about 99% is usually reasonable.
