Expressing a decimal percentage as a ratio

90 Views Asked by At

Maths newbie here. How would I express a decimal percentage such as 90.3 as a ratio ("one in...")?

I've done a search and the explanations aren't too clear at all. I'm about to enrol on to a mathematics course because I must admit that my mathematical skills are incredibly poor. Before I start on the course I'm trying to pick-up some '101s' and basic skills.

Thanks for helping!
