Comparison of units of figures in Chinese and English In Chinese, we have a series of numerical characters to express particular figures, e.g. 十、百、千、万、十万、百万、千万、亿、十亿…, which are the multiple of “十. But in English, there are no equivalents of “ 万”and “ 亿”. Relevant figures have to be converted on the basis of “ thousand”, “million” and “ billion”. I.

Fractions whose numerator is not one If the numerator is not one, the plural form should be used for the denominator. 3/5: three-fifths 9/10: nine-tenths 3/1000: three-thousandths 3. Fractions with big numerators and denominators In case the numerator and the denominator are big numbers, both are pronounced as cardinal numbers, but they are joined by the word “over” in between. 54/79: fifty-four over seventy-nine 29/95: twenty-nine over ninety-five 4.

All the numerals after the decimal point are read one by one just as ordinary cardinal numbers. 0.7: point seven; zero/naught point seven 0.3098: point three O nine eight; zero/naught point three O nine eight. 0.0009%: point OOO nine percent 1.
