When do you write out numbers and when do you not? I never thought I had trouble with this until I actually read the rules. There are many rules to writing numbers:
1) Any number 0-9 is spelt out. Ten and above are numerical.
- I hit three homeruns.
2) Keep the sentence consistant. Use numericals OR write them out.
- There are 12 computers in the library and 5 are being use.
3) If you are stating a decade you put an apostrophe in front of the decade and not inbetween the number and the s.
- '80s, '50s, '40s, '90s '70s
For more number writing rules continue on.
