A ratio can compare part to whole, part to part, or whole to part. For example, a part-to-whole ratio expresses how one part relates to the entire group, while a part-to-part ratio compares different parts within the same whole. Whole-to-part ratios are less common but can still be used to show how a whole entity relates to a specific part. Each type of ratio serves different analytical purposes depending on the context.
A fraction is a ratio of a part to the whole. Ratios can represent this or a part to another part, as well.
part to whole
Part-to-part ratios compare two distinct parts of a whole, indicating the relationship between them. For example, in a ratio of 2:3, for every 2 parts of one element, there are 3 parts of another. In contrast, part-to-whole ratios express the relationship of a part to the entire set, such as a ratio of 2:5, which means that the part constitutes 2 out of a total of 5 parts. Both types of ratios are useful for understanding proportions in various contexts.
Proper fraction is part to whole.
A fraction or ratio.
A Part-to-part ratio
It only works sometimes if you're comparing a part to a whole ratio.
Part-to-whole-ratio is defined as the relationship between part of something and the whole of it. For instances if there are 10 apples and you get 3, this is said to be 3:10 which is a part-to-whole ratio.
a ratio is a fraction of something, so basically the other part of the whole.
8 out of 10 IS a ratio
A part to whole is, essentially, a ratio. 2:10 is a ratio---it could also be 2(the part) to 10(the whole). The part is how much the part is in comparison to the whole-1/2 could be the part, while 1 is the whole.

No, they can compare parts to parts or many wholes to many wholes. For example, a class in school could have a ratio of 7 boys to 8 girls. 7 boys are not a part of 8 girls nor are 8 girls part of 7 boys!
Proper fraction is part to whole.
Ratio is the part basically to compare the financial statement of one co with another...
