  1. 1-2 is a ratio expressed in using a hyphen, whilst this is quite commonly used it should be avoided as the hyphen also represents the minus sign in math and can be confusing in long algorithms or if using computer code or computers to process a math calculation
  2. 1:2 is a ratio expressed in typical math format using a colon
  3. 1 to 2 is a ratio expressed in written words
  4. 1 per 2 is a ratio expressed in written words
  5. 0.5 is a ratio expressed as a decimal number
