Bev >> According to AAMT BOS, always use the decimal form with metric measurements, even when they are dictated as a fraction. D: two and a half centimeters T: 2.5 cm For fractions, spell out fractional measurements that are less than one when they do not precede a noun. Is that clear as mud? Hope this helps! Of course, you transcribe it they way the doc wants you to do it! In my case, the docs would want me to transcribe one-third as 1/3.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 MT Guide Do's and Don'ts says: Fractions are not used with metric system nor with the percent (%) sign. Decimals are used with the metric system to describe parts of whole numbers. The answer would be: 0.25 cc Aloha, Pam ----- Original Message ----- > In a message dated 3/18/01 9:47:26 AM Eastern Standard Time, akik926@... > writes: > > << With the earlier discussion of correct usage of metric or arabic numbers, > I'm > confused.
