A fraction like 7/394 can describe a small share in everyday life, such as 7 people out of a group of 394 choosing a certain option. That is about 1.78%, so it represents a result that happens only occasionally.

To picture it quickly, imagine 394 dots with just 7 of them colored in. You can also think of it as roughly 2 out of every 100, which makes it easier to recognize as a very small portion.

A common mistake is to treat 1.78% as if it were 1.78, or nearly two whole units. The percent sign matters: it means less than 2 out of 100, not almost two people or objects out of one.
