Fraction of the volume of ice block immersed in water = \frac{0.9}{1}  x 100 = 90 %
Fraction of the volume of ice block immersed in water = \frac{0.9}{0.8}  x 100 > 100%
                                                                                                             So completely sinks.taken to be 100%
 
 
Ratio = 9:10
