Question

Where should a hyphen be placed in the following sentence?

“There are fifty two weeks in a year and twelve months, so some months have four weeks while others have four and a half.” [L.11-12.2.a]

A. four-and-a-half
B. four-weeks
C. fifty-two
D. twelve-months

Answer 1

The answer is C: Fifty-Two.

The cause is when two or more words come before the noun they modify and act as a single idea. This is also called a compound adjective.
