Question

Write the correct form of the number in the text box. (Write only the correct form of the NUMBER.)

Antonio and his wife do not have children, but they are raising three dogs, twelve cats, and (25, twenty-five) tropical fish.

Answer 1

I'm not sure what the point of this exercise is. I am confused because I see that the number 12 is written in letters instead as a number, and I see that the number 25 is written with words and hyphenated correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules for writing numbers are this:

1. For the numbers 1 - 9, the word should be written as words: one, two , three, ....

2. For numbers greater than nine, typically you should use numbers: 10, 11, 12 ....

3. If you do write a number with words above 20, the words must be hyphenated: twenty-one, twenty-two, ....
