numbers (see also No.)
In general, spell out zero through nine (and first through ninth) and give numerals for 10
and above (10th, etc.). Fractions, such as two-thirds, should be spelled out. If paired with
a whole number, use the decimal system: 2.25. Percentages, measurements, GPAs and
ages should always be represented by numerals. Headlines: use numerals, even for 1-9.
