Got how to open the link at last, Lucy. I had not thought of placing my mouse on the title of your quiz, one-track mind that I am (sometimes only, fortunately). Some of my answers were considered wrong because I used - between sixty-six and forty-five. And I also wondered whether more than one answer can be accepted, e.g. 3/4 could be spoken 3 out of 4 as well as 3 quarters, it seems to me (the same would apply to 3/8). Would the former be accepted, too?
Forgot to write the most important thing : very useful quiz for all levels or perhaps I should say especially for higher levels as advanced learners tend to forget this stuff -if they were ever taught how to say fractions and decimal figures, that is.
Interesting comments, Efrossini. I'm not sure that I would expect that 'three out of four' would be the right reply in a quiz about figures and in this case, fractions. I don't think this would be expressed as a fraction but more likely as a percentage? But I'm not a mathematician, so maybe you have a point. But as you say, very useful language for all levels and particularly people in business or studying who have to write essays?
