A ratio is a comparison between two (or more) different quantities of the same unit. And it does not tell us how many there are altogether, only how their numbers compare.

The number is split into two parts such that one is twice as large as another. For example, if you split 6 as a 2:1 ratio, you get 4 and 2 (one part twice is large as the other).
