In a strict mathematical sense, ratios are typically expressed as simplified fractions of whole numbers. However, in practical applications, ratios can be expressed as decimals for ease of calculation and comparison. Decimals in ratios are often used when dealing with measurements or financial data, where the precision of decimal values is necessary. Just keep in mind that when converting a ratio to a decimal, it may result in a repeating or terminating decimal.

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.
