Fractions are normally parts of a whole, although, in some cases whole number may be expressed as a fraction - particularly fractions that arise partway through a calculation, before they are simplified - such as 5882/17.
A decimal is simply a way of representing numbers in such a way the the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its left. A decimal number may be an integer or a part of the whole (or a number comprising both).
