ten one hundredths of an inch - TotallyConfused
Posted: Feb 08, 2012
My doctor is excising some tissue from a child's fingertip and goes along merrily talking in centimeters, then suddenly pulls a fast one and says:
ten one hundredths of an inch
Great. A Google search has just left me doubting myself completely. I found one reference that says "0.010 is ten thousandths (same as one hundredth)." So does this mean I need to type "0.10" (if that is really the correct numeral for this dimension), or should I just write it out as "ten one hundredths of an inch" or "10/100ths of an inch."
Any thoughts, suggestions or Valium to lend?
