It really depends on the type of problem you are trying to solve. Did you have a specific problem in mind?
Look for examples and context. For example, a recipe will always talk about fractions of cups, tablespoons, etc. If you're talking about the chance of rain, you would express that as a percentage.
No but percentages are ratios.
They are all different ways of representing the same thing: a relationship between two numbers.
a fraction is an amount of something and a ratio is how much of something there is.
Ratios, fractions, and percents are all ways to express relationships between quantities. A ratio compares two quantities, a fraction represents a part of a whole, and a percent indicates a portion out of 100. For example, if there are 2 apples and 3 oranges, the ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3, which can also be expressed as the fraction 2/5 of the total fruit. This fraction corresponds to 40% when expressed as a percent (2 out of 5 = 40%).

Its mostly algebra- fractions decimals percents proportions equations expression ratios and etc

Related concepts to fractions include ratios, proportions, percents, decimals, probabilities, cents, division, inverses. Parts of fractions are numerator and denominator. Fractions greater than 1 are improper fractions or mixed numbers.
when you are specifically comparing 2 sets of data (2 #'s, 2 percents, 2 rates ect.)
The ratios are percents, which can be calculated by a punnett square.

Yes. In fact, fractions can be thought of as vertical ratios.
Think of a ball. In different countries, it might be called a bola, a palla or a balle but it's still a ball. Fractions, decimals, percents and ratios are different ways to express relationships between numbers. If there are two things and you have one of them, it could be said that you have 1/2 of the objects, or 0.5 of them or 50 percent of them or 1:2 of them but there are still two objects and you have one of them.
All ratios can be written as fractions.
