are numbers appropriate in essays? or do i need to spell it out?

Answer 1

spell out numbers less than 10.

If you have one number less than 10, and one greater than 10, you can do either, but you have to be consistent.

Example:
I have 10 fingers.
He had nine lives.
She gave me three dollars and eleven dimes.
She gave me 3 dollars and 11 dimes.

Answer 2

You usually would spell the number out unless it is in the name of something and is actually the number. Sometimes it is a good thing tos pell it out. It takes up space in an essay!

Answer 3

you must spell them if there not in a math or sciences essay ref numbers can just be put as number and not spelled but it depends on the essay format that is fb format

Answer 4

If the spelled out word has a hyphen in it, such as twenty-four, it is best to write the actual number. But, if you can spell the word without a hyphen, you should spell out the number.

Answer 6

I usually spell them out to be safe, but it's acceptable to use numerals when writing very large numbers. So five and 5,353,981. Got it? Good luck.

Answer 7

Error up above...

One or two word numbers or hyphanated numbers, spell: one, eleven, eighteen, thirty, fifty-five, ninety, ninety-nine, one hundred, etc.
