Numbers in MathA. MONEY
Observe HOW MUCH, CHANGE, MONEY
Situation : Austin and Jane finish their coffee
Austin : Your coffee tastes nice. HOW MUCH a cup?
Waitress : Forty nine cents and two cents TAX, fifty one
CENTS
Austin : Do you have a CHANGE for a TEN?

This conversation shows currency denomination in US dollars (e.g TEN, FIVE, ONE, HALF DOLLARS ETC) and how to ask the price of something (HOW MUCH), and TAX. People in USA tend to use ONE PENNY instead of one CENT, ONE NICKLE instead of five CENTS, ONE DIME instead of ten CENTS etc.
Here are American dollars
1. COINS
one CENT = one PENNY (common name)five CENTS= one NICKLE
\
ten CENTS = one DIME
25 cents - one QUARTER DOLLAR
50 cents = one HALF
2. BANK NOTES
one DOLLAR two DOLLAR
five DOLLAR
ten DOLLAR
twenty DOLLAR
one hundred DOLLAR
Practice :
Example : Teacher Student

twenty dollar?
B: Yes, I have two TEN-DOLLAR
bills.
a TEN DOLLAR C: Do you have a ten ?
d: Yes, I have two FIVE s.
1. a FIVE 4. a QUARTER
2. a DOLLAR 5. a DIME
3. A HALF-DOLLAR 6. a NICKEL

3. Fractional Numerals
There are some rules in fractional numerals
1. Fractional numerals in English are formed with cardinal and ordinal numbers. The cardinal number is used for the numerators, and ordinal number is used for the denominator.
Examples :
- 1/2 = a half
- 1/4 = a quarter (one fourth)
- 1/3 = one third
- 1/5 = one fifth
- 1/9 = one ninth
2. If the numerator is more than one, the denominator is plural
Examples:
- 3/4 = three quarters (three fourths)
- 2/3 = two thirds
- 4/5 = four fifths
3. If the numbers are more than one with
fractional numbers are read as follows :
fractional numbers are read as follows :
Examples :
- 3 4/5 = three and four fifth
- 5 2/7 = five and two seventh
4. If the fractional numerals are decimal, we read as follows:
- 3.45 = three points forty five
- 7.70 = seven points seventy
- 0.35 = zero points thirty five
5. if the fractional numeral is followed by a noun, we read
as follows :
- 3/5 meters = three fifths of a meter
- 7/4 tons = seven fourths of a ton
- 50 3/5 grams = fifty and three fifth tons
