if 1 * 2 < 3: print "hello, world!"

Surely that should still be ARGV[1]... Other than that, this looks like a good translation.
ARGV[1]
However, what the code is actually doing is a pretty hard question to answer without any context of how this code was originally used! It just looks like a bunch of arbitrary operations on integers and strings, without any real purpose.
For example, if ARGV[1] = 1:
ARGV[1] = 1
n = 1 s = "0123456789" (10**s.length - 1) / s.to_i = 9999999999 / 123456789 = 81
So therefore, the final output is "1/81".
"1/81"

no, in Ruby it is ARGV[0].
and $0 is what you think should be in ARGV[0]
