Why {*tI*chel}, not {yIchel}? 324.56 is a single number.
DujHoD:
: jIQochbe'. Except I would just put the numerals instead of writing out
: the numbers: 9288.3logh 324.56 tIchel.
If Maltz lets us use {-logh} with non-whole numbers when multiplying.
(Maltz probably will, since he's a science officer.) And I certainly agree
that writing numerals is easier than words. But then, that was my
question: How would you *say* "324.56 x 9,288.3 = 3,014,610.648"? Don't
forget to state the result.
And for a challenge, how would you say "3,014,610.648/324.56 = 9,288.3"?
