How do I write out .25% ?

  • March 16, 2011, 1:47pm

I'd say [zero] point two five rather than [zero] point twenty five

it's there's no relation between .25 with 25 or 2 and 5 but still
If you said zero point three and zero point twenty five sounds like the twenty five things is bigger then three
Therefore for decimal if we're not read it as a fraction we have to spell the number behind the decimal one by one
