A value like 159/5345, or about 2.97%, could describe a small share of people in a survey who choose a certain option. It might also represent a few defective products in a large shipment or a small number of late deliveries.

To picture it quickly, imagine about 3 items out of every 100, or roughly 1 item out of every 34. That makes it easier to see that the amount is noticeable but still a small portion of the whole.

A common mistake is to treat 2.97% as nearly 30%, especially when reading the decimal too quickly. The percent sign matters: 2.97% is less than 3%, not nearly 3 times as much as the total.
