In fractions, the numerator states the number of parts out of the whole. The denominator states how many parts in the whole. For example: If you slice a Pizza and there are eight (8) slices, the denominator is eight (8). Now, if you eat two of those slices you ate two, the numerator, out of eight, the denominator.
What is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator represent the same amount but are in different units?
The numerator in fractions
A proper fraction can represent a comparison between a part (the numerator) and the whole (the denominator).
It is the numerator of a fraction which is above the denominator.
The denominator tells you how many parts into which the whole has been divided, and the numerator tells you how many of those parts there are.

It is neither the numerator nor the denominator but the fraction that they represent.
The line separates the numerator and the denominator.

A unit conversion ratio
In a fraction, the numerator represent the part out of the denominator which represents the total. Neither need be rational (or even real).
The numerator is the number above the line in a common fraction showing how many of the parts indicated by the denominator are taken. The denominator is the number below the line in a common fraction showing the total number of parts.
In the case of equally likely outcomes, it represents the number of times out of a denominator number of trials, that you will get a favourable outcome.
That is not necessarily so. You can have the X-Values in the numerator and the Y-values in the denominator. The only half-way decent explanation is in the X-values represent an independent variable and the Ys are dependent.
