2017年12月26日 · I agree that "a fraction of ...." would usually be understood as a figure under 50%. If someone managed to purchase a $100 product for $50, we'd expect them to say "I got it for half the price".

2007年4月18日 · "A fraction" falls in the same category as "stuff" as a word that is sufficiently non specific as to be nearly worthless. "A fraction" as noted above by JamesM, could be any fraction. It could be 999/1,000ths or 1/1,000th. Almost a meaningless phrase. The same with "stuff". "He had some really great "stuff". An almost meaningless word.

2018年8月2日 · Hi, please, from David Copperfield by Dickens: "All your life," said Mr. Omer. "I may say before it. I knew your father before you. He was five foot nine and a half, and he lays in five and twen-ty foot of ground." "Rat—tat-tat, rat—tat-tat, rat—tat-tat," across the yard. "He lays in …

2011年1月25日 · Thus 44/100 would be a fraction while 0.44 would be a decimal. I just learned that the term might have been a short form of what the dictionary calls "vulgar fraction: Brit. Fraction where numerator and denominator are presented as distinct from decimals" - hence my usage of "either fraction or decimal" In any (non-mathematical) semantic ...

2021年9月27日 · Fraction: 0.250 Vugar Fraction: ¼ or 1/4 Fraction: 0.750 Vulgar Fraction: ¾ or 3/4 Note: This site allows me to use the ascii symbol for 3/4 but not the ascii symbol for 7/8.

2006年8月7日 · In American English, the fraction 1/3 is written out this way: one-third (obviously with a hyphen). A third is informal. One-third is technically how the fraction should be written. I'd be careful with Google. There are many, many people in the world using computers, and many of the people aren't necessarily well-versed in the use of language.
