If their are 2 employees for every tiger than the equation could be 2t where t stands for tiger(s). For elephants it could be 4m where m stands for elephant(s). The equation would be 2t+4m=e where e stands for the total amount of employees for both the tiger and elephant exhibit.

2:4 is the ratio. 2/4 is the fraction.
