re: Read This ----≫ 1/125? page 2
Hi,
how is 1/125 read? I think...
1/250 - should be "one two-hundred-fiftieth"
1/125 - so this should be "one one-hundred-twenty-fifth"
But I'm not completely sure of that "one one"... Thank you

no, I don't think so. Reading 2/100 as "two hundredths" is the standard way to read it, as far as I know. Don't you read it that way? And 1/200 would be "one two-hundredth".
I checked again on the net, but it is impossible to find something about complex fractions. Anyway, it seems "one one-hundred twenty-fifth", repeating the one, is found on the net and it seems the correct and common way to read 1/125.
I'd probably read 2/100 as "two one-hundredths".
