Welcome to the forum, SaraLar.

I see you posted the same thread in WordReferenceForums.

Please do not post the same question simultaneously to more than one forum. Doing so wastes our valuable time. Instead, post your question to one forum and wait for replies. If you're not satisfied with those replies, you can try another forum, but please indicate in your thread that you've already asked the same question elsewhere (provide a link), and outline why you were not satisfied with the answers you received already.

Hello.

Could you please help me with this mathematical issue.

How [STRIKE]to[/STRIKE] do we read decimal fractions like [STRIKE]that[/STRIKE] these?

a) 0,(14) [STRIKE]and[/STRIKE]
b) 0,1(4)

Please note my corrections above. I have left your examples as they were because I have no idea what they are supposed to represent. They are neither decimals nor fractions.

Neither 0,(14) or 0,1(4) is a decimal or a fraction.

A decimal has a decimal point (.) between digits. A fraction has a division sign (/) between digits. Examples:

0.5 = 1/2
2.2 = 2 1/5

Neither has parentheses. We only use commas in numbers of four digits or more, starting with 1,000.

Can you tell us more about what you want to know?
