A value like 27/38 could describe how many students in a class brought lunch from home or how many people in a survey chose one answer. It represents a little over seven out of every ten parts of the whole.

To picture it quickly, imagine a bar split into ten equal sections with about seven filled in. It is also a bit more than two-thirds, but not as much as three-quarters.

A common point of confusion is focusing only on the 27 and forgetting that the 38 is the total number of parts. The same number of selected items can represent a different share when the total changes.
