If a value is expressed in the form of a ratio then the total number of parts is some multiple of the denominator of the fraction.

For example, if there is a Pizza with 6 slices, then 4 slices out of that would represent 2/3 of the pizza. There is nothing in that number that tells you that there were 6 slices.

The bottom number of a fraction is called the denominator and tells you into how many parts the whole has been divided. For example in 1/4, the denominator is 4 and tells you that there are 4 parts into which the whole has been divided. The top number is called the numerator and tells you how many parts (of the bottom number) there are.
