分数以基数词和序数词合成,其读法是先用基数词读分子,再用序数词读分母。除了分子是"1"时,作为分母的序数词都用复数,如:
1/5 读作 a(one) fifth
3/5 读作 three fifths
2/3 读作 two thirds
125/6 读作 twelve and five-sixths
另外还有下面一些表示法,如:
1/2 读作 a(one) half
1/4 读作 a(one) fourth, a(one) quarter
3/4 读作 three quarters
21/4 读作 two and a quarter
比较复杂的分数用over,分母则用基数词,如:
22/9 读作 twenty-two over nine
33/89 读作 thirty-three over eighty-nine
