Standardizing Ratios and Decimals in Data Systems
In your role as a data entry trainer, you are asked to define the standards for 'ratio-of-integers' and 'decimal form' for a new training manual. Based on the examples provided in the training table, describe the standard method for representing any integer (such as -2, 0, or 3) as a ratio of two integers. Additionally, identify the two specific behaviors a decimal form can exhibit for it to be accepted as a valid entry in this classification.
