Percentages, Fractions and Decimals

People use ordinal numbers (at the end position) to talk about fractions. For example:

 2/3 — two-thirds

 1/4 — one-fourth

 3/4 — three-fourths

 2/5 — two-fifths

 1/6 — one-sixth

 5/6 — five-sixths

If people have a whole number with a fraction, they use the word and between the two parts. For example:

 2 3/5 — two and three-fifths

For parts of whole numbers, people use a decimal point (NOT a comma). For example:

2.5 — two point five

If there is more than one number after the decimal point, people say each number individually. For example:

3,456.789 — three thousand, four hundred and fifty-six point seven eight nine 

As for percentage, it is easier. For example:

65% — sixty-five percent
