Hi, I'm Laura from youngwritersworkshop.com and I'm going to talk about how to write,
writing fractions in words. The trick to writing fractions in words is to write it exactly
as you would read it if you were reading a number. For example, one half, expressed as
a number 1/2, you would right out, one, the word one, o-n-e and then half. That's a very
easy example. Where it gets slightly more difficult is when the denominator is a larger
number. For example, 6/41. Now that's a number that is, you might not see as often but the
simple way of writing it as a word would again be to write six and then a dash and then forty
firsts. Again expressing it, writing it exactly the way you would say it out loud is the way
to write fractions as numbers. Just keeping in mind that the larger the number, the larger
the denominator, the more awkward it is going to sound to write it as a word but again the
proper way to write a fraction as a word is to write it as you would say it if you were
reading the number out loud. That's a little bit about writing fractions as numbers.
