1. Oh, Zero, Love, Nothing, Nil
"Oh" - in telephone numbers
- in address and room numbers
- in years
"zero" or "oh" - after decimal points (.02 : point zero two or point oh two)
"zero" - for the number
- for the temperature
- if it is the only number before a decimal (0.2 zero point two)
"nothing" or "nil" - in most sports scores (3-0 : three zero or three nil)
"love" - in tennis scores (15-0 : The score is fifteen love)
2. Percentages
The stress is on the "cent" of perCENT
3. Squares, Cubes
10*10 = ten Squared, 10*10*10= ten Cubed
4. Fractions
1/2 = one half or a half
1/3 = one third
2/3 = two thirds
1/4 = one quarter or a quarter
3/4 = three quarters
5. Calculation
"=" equals, "+" plus, "-" minus, "X" times or multiplied by, "/" devided by
10+4=14 Ten plus four equals fourteen.
10*4=40 Ten times four equals forty or ten multiplied by four equals forty.
