Step 1 :The upper limit of the ninth class is the highest upper limit among all the classes.
Step 2 :From the frequency distribution table, we can see that the classes are grouped in intervals of 5.
Step 3 :The class with the highest upper limit is the class $50-54$.
Step 4 :Therefore, the upper limit of the ninth class is 54.
Step 5 :\(\boxed{54}\)
