Omar has a bag that contains pineapple chews, cherry chews, and peach chews. He performs an experiment. Omar randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Omar performs the experiment 51 times. The results are shown below:
A pineapple chew was selected 11 times.
A cherry chew was selected 28 times.
A peach chew was selected 12 times.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Omar removes from the bag will be cherry chew as a fraction in simplest form.
