I'm not sure I understand your question.
You can say one OVER one-hundred and one as in the sentence 'The ratio is one over one-hundred and one.' You can also say 'The ratio is one OUT of one-hundred and one.'
As for the 'th' ending with numbers, it doesn't show up until you reach the number four. Notice that it's first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and so on.
So, if you want to go that route, I would say one-hundred and first, one one-hundred and second, etc., as in the sentence 'He was the one-hundred and first or one-hundred and second to cross the finish line.' But in this sentence, we are using only the denominator. If you want to write the whole ratio, numerator and denominator, I guess you could say 'One one-hundred and first' but I honestly have to struggle to come up with a sentence that would use such wording. 'His score was the one one-hundred and first highest ever recorded' is possible I guess, but I'm not sure I understand what that sentence means.
That's my best shot. Hope this helps you achieve your goal.

It would be a hundred and first, then a hundred and second, a hundred and third, and so on.
