#1 Rating (stars) output 

wp_star_rating( ['rating'=>7.5, 'type'=>'rating', 'number'=>0 ] );

/* Will withdraw:
<div class="star-rating" title="Rating 7.5"><span class="screen-reader-text">Rating 7.5</span>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-half"></div>
</div>
*/

It looks like this:

wp_star_rating( ['rating'=>85, 'type'=>'percent', 'number'=>654 ] );

/* Will withdraw:
<div class="star-rating" title="Rating 4.5 based on 654 votes"><span class="screen-reader-text">Rating 4.5 based on 654 votes</span>

#2 Output in the front-end

In the front-end function does not work and there is better to make their own similar function. But if you have 'dashicons' fonts on front, then it makes sense to use this function, for this you need to include the function file and css styles:

<?php
// for use on front
require_once ABSPATH .'wp-admin/includes/template.php';

// connect icons
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function(){
	wp_enqueue_style( 'dashicons' );
} );

// add styles
add_action( 'wp_head', function(){
	?>
	<style>
	.screen-reader-text{ position: absolute; margin: -1px; padding: 0; 
		height: 1px; width: 1px; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); 
		border: 0; word-wrap: normal!important; 
	}
	.star-rating .star-full:before { content: "\f155"; }
	.star-rating .star-half:before { content: "\f459"; }
	.star-rating .star-empty:before { content: "\f154"; }
	.star-rating .star {
		color: #0074A2;
		display: inline-block;
		font-family: dashicons;
		font-size: 20px;
		font-style: normal;
		font-weight: 400;
		height: 20px;
		line-height: 1;
		text-align: center;
		text-decoration: inherit;
		vertical-align: top;
		width: 20px;
	}
	</style>
	<?php
} );

// Output HTML
wp_star_rating( [ 'rating'=>4.5, 'type'=>'rating', 'number'=>521 ] );

/* We get:

<div class="star-rating" data-title="4,5 rating based on 521 ratings">
	<span class="screen-reader-text">4,5 rating based on 521 ratings</span>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-full"></div>
	<div class="star star-half"></div>
</div>
