seven and six-tenths percent
Thread Content
Unemployment has reached seven and six-tenths percent, the highest rate since 1992. What does \"seven and six-tenths percent\" mean? Is it 7.6%?
It means 6% to 7%, right? 7.6% should be seven point six tenths
It is 7.6%; seven and six-tenths is the fractional form of this value, which means 7 and 6/10, or in other words, 7.6.
Seven and six-tenths percent means 7.6%, but it can also be expressed as seven point six percent. However, I think this notation is complicated and can easily cause confusion.
You’re right; it’s 7.6%. “Seven and six-tenths” is the fractional form of this number, which means seven and six tenths, or 7.6. I think we learned this in middle school English, hehe
Six-tenths – I remember we learned about this somewhere; it should be 7.6%
