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.
