Well, honey, a ratio is just a comparison of two numbers, so technically you can have a decimal in a ratio if both numbers are decimals. But typically ratios are simplified to whole numbers, so if you start throwing decimals in there, it might just confuse things more than my ex-husband at a family reunion.

Yes. But people who are mathematically challenged may not want to work with fractions and decimals at the same time. You may be better off re-scaling the ratio to get rid of the decimal.
