There are about 2700 known species of snake. About 375 of those are venomous and considered deadly to humans. That means about 14% of snakes are dangerous to people. 86% are non-venomous.
So I guess the ratio would be 1.4/10
In any case there are many more harmless snakes than there are dangerous ones.
