[Grammar] Question about the usage of time

[Lemon]

Lee Sam-Sik, a researcher of the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, said in a report on the nation's abortion rate that married women aged between 15 and 44 become pregnant an average of 2.99 times. However, 0.77 of the time, the fetuses are aborted.


I just found this paragraph on a book and

1. Does the paragraph sound natural and grammatically correct?

2.I am not sure if it's correct to use 'the time' in "0.77 of the time" to mention '2.99 times' in the previous sentence.

3. If I paraphrase the paragraph" married women aged between 15 and 44 become pregnant an average of 2.99 times. However, 0.77 of the time, the fetuses are aborted"

like "married women aged between 15 and 44 have an average of 2.99 pregnancies, of which 0.77 ends in abortion." Does it sound idiomatic and grammatically correct?

Thanks in advance

I see.

This book is titled "News English Powerdic" written by two Korean authors about English writing. In the book, the author translated "한국보건사회연구원의 이삼식 연구원은 한국의 낙태비율에 관한 보고서에서 15세에서 44세의 결혼한 여성이 평균 2.99번 임신을 했으며 그 중 0.77번 낙태를 했다고 밝혔다" into "Lee Sam-sik, a researcher ~ aborted." I just didn't mentioned the title because it's a Korean book and hard to find on the Internet.
