A ratio is a comparison of two numbers by division, showing the relationship between them.

Explain the difference between a fraction and a ratio, even though they can be written in the same format.

A fraction typically represents a part of a whole, while a ratio compares two separate quantities.

Explain what a 'rate' is and provide an example.

A rate is a ratio that compares two quantities with different units, often involving time. An example is 60 miles per hour.
