A ratio composes two (usually, but can be more) quantities of a whole.
A ratio would be set up as 2:3:5 where the first is 40% of the third, and the second is 60% of the third. That would be a basic ratio for something like cement, where you need x bags of one thing to y bags of another and z litres of water.
A fraction is a certain type of ratio that compares exactly two quantities that have a part-to-whole relationship.
thenumeratorindicates the part and the denominator indicates the whole.
1/3 Would indicate a third, which if in a ratio's term would be 1:2 as it'd be 1 part of something to 2 of another.

What makes an equivalent fraction equivalent?

What is the difference between ratio and percent?
Ratio is another form of a fraction, for instance: I have 1 apple to two oranges, which can be expressed as 1:2 (ratio) or 1/2 (fraction) which basically mean the same thing. Percent (%) is when you actually DIVIDE and multiply that decimal by 100%. For instance, with the apple and oranges, 1/2 becomes 0.5. 0.5 x 100= 50%.
