The team of the portal "Gramota.ru", hello! I have an issue that has been troubling me for a long time: coordinating the verb form with complex (including fractional) numerals. I carefully studied the information on the topic http://new.gramota.ru/spravka/letters/64-bolshinstvo. But the question regarding fractional numbers remains open for me, I think, not only for me. These are the examples. 1). "In 2016, 58.2 thousand employees participated in scientific research and development on a reimbursable basis." (If there were only 58 people, then we would put “O”, but there is a nuance here: there are 2 tenths and thousands. What should we coordinate with?) 2). "In 2016, 51.7 thousand graduate students studied at universities and scientific organizations of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, of which 42.1 thousand people studied in full-time graduate school." (Here is “51 whole”, but there is also “7 tenths of a thousand”. Then “studied”? Then “42 point one thousand”. Then already “studied”?) 3). “1,580.1 thousand students completed full-time education.” Here there are already “1 million 580 point 1 thousand.” What should we do here? What to get attached to? And one more interesting aspect: the coordination of the participle with a complex numeral: “In 2016, 2,354 small enterprises operated at universities, created in the form of business entities and partnerships.” Here "... four small... created" or "four... enterprises created?" Reconcile with what??? Please help me figure it out! I'm tired of such cases. I also ask for a link to any reliable sources on these issues. We definitely need to make things clear!!!
Russian help desk response
The coordination of the counting turnover with the value of a certain quantity with the predicate is influenced by many different factors. In the above contexts, agreement is possible in both singular and plural. number. Wed. examples from reference books: There are 28 thousand students studying at the university And One hundred of our students will go on internships abroad this year. The features of agreement with the subject - fractional numerals are not described in reference books, so you can be guided by these general recommendations. Unit form numbers emphasize the total number of persons, a set of objects, indicate that they are experiencing some kind of impact, state; units The number of the predicate focuses attention on the number of objects or persons in question. In the plural form. numbers, the persons and objects being counted are highlighted as producers of the action, the separateness of the objects or persons indicated in the subject, and the separateness of their performance of the action are emphasized.
In a sentence In 2016, there were 2,354 small enterprises operating at universities, created in the form of business entities and partnerships Both forms of participle are possible. To the right books indicate that the definition (usually isolated), standing after the counting phrase with the numeral 2, 3, 4 or ending in 2, 3, 4, is often put in the form named after. plural case numbers, but the form is gen. case is not prohibited.
| Question No. 291932 | ||
Which case should you choose when writing units of measurement after numerals in contracts if fractions are present? For example: “The company undertakes to sell 20100.52 (Twenty thousand one hundred) 52/100 barrel(s) of oil? On the one hand, it reads as “twenty thousand one hundred barrels”, on the other - “twenty thousand one hundred point fifty two barrel." Which option is correct?
Russian help desk response
Since a fractional number is used here, the noun is put in the singular genitive form: barrel.

Which is correct to say: “the first eight and seven POINTS earned” or “the first eight and seven POINTS earned”? Thank you!
Russian help desk response
Do you mean seven points or seven tenths of a point? If the second option, then true: first earnedeight point seven points.
| Question No. 285308 | ||
Dear “Certificate”, explain why of the two options “two hundred nine and a half thousand” and “two hundred nine and a half thousand” the first option is correct (this is question No. 285264), and of the options “five and a half meters” and “five and a half meters" is correct 5.5 meters (question no. 285260). Please explain!
Russian help desk response
Right: two hundred nine and a half thousand, five and a half meters. But if we use a number form to write, where there is an integer and a fraction, it is correct: 209.5 thousand, 5.5 meters. A noun is governed by a fraction: two hundred and nine point five thousand, five point five meters.

Russian help desk response
The number reads like this: four point four billion.
| Question No. 279612 | ||
Which is correct - “three point two tenths” or “three point two tenths”?
According to almost all sources, -Х is correct. It seems to me that they are correct, as with adjectives: two little girls. According to Wiktionary, the words "tenth" and "hundredth" are nouns. Then the correct option would be "three point two", but I've never heard that at all. Or are the words “whole,” “tenth,” and “hundredth” NUMERAL and subject to their own rules? Help determine the part of speech and the correct option, and, most importantly, WHY this or that is correct.
Russian help desk response
Correct in them. p.: three point two. The choice of case form is determined by tradition and is probably due to the influence of numerals five, six, seven etc. ( whole tenths).

A decimal fraction must contain a comma. The numerical part of the fraction that is located to the left of the decimal point is called the whole part; to the right - fractional:
5.28 5 - integer part 28 - fractional part
The fractional part of a decimal consists of decimal places(decimal places):
- tenths - 0.1 (one tenth);
- hundredths - 0.01 (one hundredth);
- thousandths - 0.001 (one thousandth);
- ten-thousandths - 0.0001 (one ten-thousandth);
- hundred thousandths - 0.00001 (one hundred thousandths);
- millionths - 0.000001 (one millionth);
- ten millionths - 0.0000001 (one ten millionth);
- hundred millionths - 0.00000001 (one hundred millionths);
- billionths - 0.000000001 (one billionth), etc.
- read the number that makes up the whole part of the fraction and add the word " whole";
- read the number that makes up the fractional part of the fraction and add the name of the least significant digit.
For example:
- 0.25 - zero point twenty-five hundredths;
- 9.1 - nine point one tenth;
- 18.013 - eighteen point thirteen thousandths;
- 100.2834 - one hundred point two thousand eight hundred thirty four ten thousandths.
Writing Decimals
To write a decimal fraction:
- write down the whole part of the fraction and put a comma (the number meaning the whole part of the fraction always ends with the word " whole");
- write the fractional part of the fraction in such a way that the last digit falls into the desired digit (if there are no significant digits in certain decimal places, they are replaced with zeros).
For example:
- twenty point nine - 20.9 - in this example everything is simple;
- five point one one hundredth - 5.01 - the word “hundredth” means that there should be two digits after the decimal point, but since the number 1 does not have a tenth place, it is replaced by zero;
- zero point eight hundred eight thousandths - 0.808;
- three point fifteen tenths - such a decimal fraction cannot be written down, because there was an error in the pronunciation of the fractional part - the number 15 contains two digits, and the word “tenths” implies only one. Correct would be three point fifteen hundredths (or thousandths, ten thousandths, etc.).
Comparison of decimals
Comparison of decimal fractions is carried out similarly to comparison of natural numbers.
- first, the whole parts of fractions are compared - the decimal fraction whose whole part is larger will be greater;
- if the whole parts of fractions are equal, compare the fractional parts bit by bit, from left to right, starting from the decimal point: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. The comparison is carried out until the first discrepancy - the greater will be the decimal fraction which has a larger unequal digit in the corresponding digit of the fractional part. For example: 1,2 8 3 > 1,27 9, because in the hundredths place the first fraction has 8, and the second has 7.
We have already said that there are fractions ordinary And decimal. At this point, we've learned a little about fractions. We learned that there are regular and improper fractions. We also learned that common fractions can be reduced, added, subtracted, multiplied and divided. And we also learned that there are so-called mixed numbers, which consist of an integer and a fractional part.
We haven't fully explored common fractions yet. There are many subtleties and details that should be discussed, but today we will begin to study decimal fractions, since ordinary and decimal fractions often have to be combined. That is, when solving problems you have to work with both types of fractions.
This lesson may seem complicated and confusing. This is quite normal. These kinds of lessons require that they be studied, and not skimmed superficially.
Lesson contentExpressing quantities in fractional form
Sometimes it is convenient to show something in fractional form. For example, one tenth of a decimeter is written like this:
This expression means that one decimeter was divided into ten equal parts, and from these ten parts one part was taken. And one part out of ten in this case is equal to one centimeter:
Consider the following example. Show 6 cm and another 3 mm in centimeters in fractional form.
So, you need to show 6 cm and 3 mm in centimeters, but in fractional form. We already have 6 whole centimeters:
But there are still 3 millimeters left. How to show these 3 millimeters, and in centimeters? Fractions come to the rescue. One centimeter is ten millimeters. Three millimeters is three parts out of ten. And three parts out of ten are written as cm
The expression cm means that one centimeter was divided into ten equal parts, and from these ten parts three parts were taken.
As a result, we have six whole centimeters and three tenths of a centimeter:
In this case, 6 shows the number of whole centimeters, and the fraction shows the number of fractional centimeters. This fraction is read as "six point three centimeters".
Fractions whose denominator contains the numbers 10, 100, 1000 can be written without a denominator. First write the whole part, and then the numerator of the fractional part. The integer part is separated from the numerator of the fractional part by a comma.
For example, let's write it without a denominator. First we write down the whole part. The whole part is 6
The whole part is recorded. Immediately after writing the whole part we put a comma:
And now we write down the numerator of the fractional part. In a mixed number, the numerator of the fractional part is the number 3. We write a three after the decimal point:
Any number that is represented in this form is called decimal.
Therefore, you can show 6 cm and another 3 mm in centimeters using a decimal fraction:
6.3 cm
It will look like this:
In fact, decimals are the same as ordinary fractions and mixed numbers. The peculiarity of such fractions is that the denominator of their fractional part contains the numbers 10, 100, 1000 or 10000.
Like a mixed number, a decimal fraction has an integer part and a fractional part. For example, in a mixed number the integer part is 6, and the fractional part is .
In the decimal fraction 6.3, the integer part is the number 6, and the fractional part is the numerator of the fraction, that is, the number 3.
It also happens that ordinary fractions in the denominator of which the numbers 10, 100, 1000 are given without an integer part. For example, a fraction is given without a whole part. To write such a fraction as a decimal, first write 0, then put a comma and write the numerator of the fraction. A fraction without a denominator will be written as follows:
Reads like "zero point five".
Converting mixed numbers to decimals
When we write mixed numbers without a denominator, we thereby convert them to decimal fractions. When converting fractions to decimals, there are a few things you need to know, which we'll talk about now.
After the whole part is written down, it is necessary to count the number of zeros in the denominator of the fractional part, since the number of zeros of the fractional part and the number of digits after the decimal point in the decimal fraction must be the same. What does it mean? Consider the following example:
At first
And you could immediately write down the numerator of the fractional part and the decimal fraction is ready, but you definitely need to count the number of zeros in the denominator of the fractional part.
So, we count the number of zeros in the fractional part of a mixed number. The denominator of the fractional part has one zero. This means that in a decimal fraction there will be one digit after the decimal point and this digit will be the numerator of the fractional part of the mixed number, that is, the number 2
Thus, when converted to a decimal fraction, a mixed number becomes 3.2.
This decimal fraction reads like this:
"Three point two"
“Tenths” because the number 10 is in the fractional part of a mixed number.
Example 2. Convert a mixed number to a decimal.
Write down the whole part and put a comma:
And you could immediately write down the numerator of the fractional part and get the decimal fraction 5.3, but the rule says that after the decimal point there should be as many digits as there are zeros in the denominator of the fractional part of the mixed number. And we see that the denominator of the fractional part has two zeros. This means that our decimal fraction must have two digits after the decimal point, not one.
In such cases, the numerator of the fractional part needs to be slightly modified: add a zero before the numerator, that is, before the number 3
Now you can convert this mixed number to a decimal fraction. Write down the whole part and put a comma:
And write down the numerator of the fractional part:
The decimal fraction 5.03 is read as follows:
"Five point three"
“Hundreds” because the denominator of the fractional part of a mixed number contains the number 100.
Example 3. Convert a mixed number to a decimal.
From previous examples, we learned that to successfully convert a mixed number to a decimal, the number of digits in the numerator of the fraction and the number of zeros in the denominator of the fraction must be the same.
Before converting a mixed number to a decimal fraction, its fractional part needs to be slightly modified, namely, to make sure that the number of digits in the numerator of the fractional part and the number of zeros in the denominator of the fractional part are the same.
First of all, we look at the number of zeros in the denominator of the fractional part. We see that there are three zeros:
Our task is to organize three digits in the numerator of the fractional part. We already have one digit - this is the number 2. It remains to add two more digits. They will be two zeros. Add them before the number 2. As a result, the number of zeros in the denominator and the number of digits in the numerator will be the same:
Now you can start converting this mixed number to a decimal fraction. First we write down the whole part and put a comma:
and immediately write down the numerator of the fractional part
3,002
We see that the number of digits after the decimal point and the number of zeros in the denominator of the fractional part of the mixed number are the same.
The decimal fraction 3.002 is read as follows:
"Three point two thousandths"
“Thousandths” because the denominator of the fractional part of the mixed number contains the number 1000.
Converting fractions to decimals
Common fractions with denominators of 10, 100, 1000, or 10000 can also be converted to decimals. Since an ordinary fraction does not have an integer part, first write down 0, then put a comma and write down the numerator of the fractional part.
Here also the number of zeros in the denominator and the number of digits in the numerator must be the same. Therefore, you should be careful.
Example 1.
The whole part is missing, so first we write 0 and put a comma:
Now we look at the number of zeros in the denominator. We see that there is one zero. And the numerator has one digit. This means you can safely continue the decimal fraction by writing the number 5 after the decimal point
In the resulting decimal fraction 0.5, the number of digits after the decimal point and the number of zeros in the denominator of the fraction are the same. This means the fraction is translated correctly.
The decimal fraction 0.5 is read as follows:
"Zero point five"
Example 2. Convert a fraction to a decimal.
A whole part is missing. First we write 0 and put a comma:
Now we look at the number of zeros in the denominator. We see that there are two zeros. And the numerator has only one digit. To make the number of digits and the number of zeros the same, add one zero in the numerator before the number 2. Then the fraction will take the form . Now the number of zeros in the denominator and the number of digits in the numerator are the same. So you can continue the decimal fraction:
In the resulting decimal fraction 0.02, the number of digits after the decimal point and the number of zeros in the denominator of the fraction are the same. This means the fraction is translated correctly.
The decimal fraction 0.02 is read as follows:
“Zero point two.”
Example 3. Convert a fraction to a decimal.
Write 0 and put a comma:
Now we count the number of zeros in the denominator of the fraction. We see that there are five zeros, and there is only one digit in the numerator. To make the number of zeros in the denominator and the number of digits in the numerator the same, you need to add four zeros in the numerator before the number 5:
Now the number of zeros in the denominator and the number of digits in the numerator are the same. So we can continue with the decimal fraction. Write the numerator of the fraction after the decimal point
In the resulting decimal fraction 0.00005, the number of digits after the decimal point and the number of zeros in the denominator of the fraction are the same. This means the fraction is translated correctly.
The decimal fraction 0.00005 is read as follows:
“Zero point five hundred thousandths.”
Converting improper fractions to decimals
An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator. There are improper fractions in which the denominator contains the numbers 10, 100, 1000 or 10000. Such fractions can be converted to decimals. But before converting to a decimal fraction, such fractions must be separated into the whole part.
Example 1.
The fraction is an improper fraction. To convert such a fraction to a decimal, you must first select the whole part of it. Let's remember how to isolate the whole part of improper fractions. If you have forgotten, we advise you to return to and study it.
So, let's highlight the whole part in the improper fraction. Recall that a fraction means division - in this case, dividing the number 112 by the number 10
Let's look at this picture and assemble a new mixed number, like a children's construction set. The number 11 will be the integer part, the number 2 will be the numerator of the fractional part, and the number 10 will be the denominator of the fractional part.
We got a mixed number. Let's convert it to a decimal fraction. And we already know how to convert such numbers into decimal fractions. First, write down the whole part and put a comma:
Now we count the number of zeros in the denominator of the fractional part. We see that there is one zero. And the numerator of the fractional part has one digit. This means that the number of zeros in the denominator of the fractional part and the number of digits in the numerator of the fractional part are the same. This gives us the opportunity to immediately write down the numerator of the fractional part after the decimal point:
In the resulting decimal fraction 11.2, the number of digits after the decimal point and the number of zeros in the denominator of the fraction are the same. This means the fraction is translated correctly.
This means that an improper fraction becomes 11.2 when converted to a decimal.
The decimal fraction 11.2 is read as follows:
"Eleven point two."
Example 2. Convert improper fraction to decimal.
It is an improper fraction because the numerator is greater than the denominator. But it can be converted to a decimal fraction, since the denominator contains the number 100.
First of all, let's select the whole part of this fraction. To do this, divide 450 by 100 with a corner:
Let's collect a new mixed number - we get . And we already know how to convert mixed numbers into decimal fractions.
Write down the whole part and put a comma:
Now we count the number of zeros in the denominator of the fractional part and the number of digits in the numerator of the fractional part. We see that the number of zeros in the denominator and the number of digits in the numerator are the same. This gives us the opportunity to immediately write down the numerator of the fractional part after the decimal point:
In the resulting decimal fraction 4.50, the number of digits after the decimal point and the number of zeros in the denominator of the fraction are the same. This means the fraction is translated correctly.
This means that an improper fraction becomes 4.50 when converted to a decimal.
When solving problems, if there are zeros at the end of the decimal fraction, they can be discarded. Let's also drop the zero in our answer. Then we get 4.5
This is one of the interesting things about decimals. It lies in the fact that the zeros that appear at the end of a fraction do not give this fraction any weight. In other words, the decimals 4.50 and 4.5 are equal. Let's put an equal sign between them:
4,50 = 4,5
The question arises: why does this happen? After all, 4.50 and 4.5 look like different fractions. The whole secret lies in the basic property of fractions, which we studied earlier. We will try to prove why the decimal fractions 4.50 and 4.5 are equal, but after studying the next topic, which is called “converting a decimal fraction to a mixed number.”
Converting a decimal to a mixed number
Any decimal fraction can be converted back to a mixed number. To do this, it is enough to be able to read decimal fractions. For example, let's convert 6.3 to a mixed number. 6.3 is six point three. First we write down six integers:
and next to three tenths:
Example 2. Convert decimal 3.002 to mixed number
3.002 is three whole and two thousandths. First we write down three integers
and next to it we write two thousandths:
Example 3. Convert decimal 4.50 to mixed number
4.50 is four point fifty. Write down four integers
and next fifty hundredths:
By the way, let's remember the last example from the previous topic. We said that the decimals 4.50 and 4.5 are equal. We also said that the zero can be discarded. Let's try to prove that the decimals 4.50 and 4.5 are equal. To do this, we convert both decimal fractions into mixed numbers.
When converted to a mixed number, the decimal 4.50 becomes , and the decimal 4.5 becomes
We have two mixed numbers and . Let's convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions:
Now we have two fractions and . It's time to remember the basic property of a fraction, which says that when you multiply (or divide) the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number, the value of the fraction does not change.
Let's divide the first fraction by 10
We got , and this is the second fraction. This means that both are equal to each other and equal to the same value:
Try using a calculator to divide first 450 by 100, and then 45 by 10. It will be a funny thing.
Converting a decimal fraction to a fraction
Any decimal fraction can be converted back to a fraction. To do this, again, it is enough to be able to read decimal fractions. For example, let's convert 0.3 to a common fraction. 0.3 is zero point three. First we write down zero integers:
and next to three tenths 0. Zero is traditionally not written down, so the final answer will not be 0, but simply .
Example 2. Convert the decimal fraction 0.02 to a fraction.
0.02 is zero point two. We don’t write down zero, so we immediately write down two hundredths
Example 3. Convert 0.00005 to fraction
0.00005 is zero point five. We don’t write down zero, so we immediately write down five hundred thousandths

Let's look at examples of how to round numbers to tenths using rounding rules.
Rule for rounding numbers to tenths.
To round a decimal fraction to tenths, you must leave only one digit after the decimal point and discard all other digits that follow it.
If the first of the discarded digits is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then the previous digit is not changed.
If the first of the discarded digits is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then we increase the previous digit by one.
Examples.
Round to the nearest tenth:
To round a number to tenths, leave the first digit after the decimal point and discard the rest. Since the first digit discarded is 5, we increase the previous digit by one. They read: “Twenty-three point seven five hundredths is approximately equal to twenty three point eight tenths.”
To round this number to tenths, leave only the first digit after the decimal point and discard the rest. The first digit discarded is 1, so we do not change the previous digit. They read: “Three hundred forty-eight point thirty-one hundredths is approximately equal to three hundred forty-one point three tenths.”
When rounding to tenths, we leave one digit after the decimal point and discard the rest. The first of the discarded digits is 6, which means we increase the previous one by one. They read: “Forty-nine point nine, nine hundred sixty-two thousandths is approximately equal to fifty point zero, zero tenths.”
We round to the nearest tenth, so after the decimal point we leave only the first of the digits, and discard the rest. The first of the discarded digits is 4, which means we leave the previous digit unchanged. They read: “Seven point twenty-eight thousandths is approximately equal to seven point zero tenths.”
To round a given number to tenths, leave one digit after the decimal point, and discard all those following it. Since the first digit discarded is 7, therefore, we add one to the previous one. They read: “Fifty-six point eight thousand seven hundred six ten thousandths is approximately equal to fifty six point nine tenths.”
And a couple more examples for rounding to tenths:
