Best Answer

Fractions are usually comparisons between two measures which are the same thing or are measures which are simply [linearly] related: for example, two days as a fraction of one week or 1 inch as a fraction of a metre.A ratio may compare two things which are measured in totally different ways: for example, a simple pay rate is the ratio of total earnings (measured in money) divided by the amount worked (hours).

What is the fraction and ratio of 2.36?
