A ratio is a comparison of parts in a whole.
Both parts of a ratio will work out less than 1, so would never be a mixed number.
eg ratio of oil to petrol of 1:25, total number of parts = 26,
so fraction of oil = 1 / 26 and fraction of petrol = 25 / 26

A ratio does not have to be a comparison of parts to a whole. It can also be in the reverse form: comparison of a whole to a part. Thus, the ratio of a year to a week (in a non-leap year) would be 365 : 7. In fractional form that would be 521/7
