    read each digit individually. Money is not read this way.

    Reading fractions
    Read fractions using the cardinal number for the numerator and the ordinal number
    for the denominator, making the ordinal number plural if the numerator is larger
    than 1. This applies to all numbers except for the number 2, which is read "half"
    when it is the denominator, and "halves" if there is more than one.

    fourths

    5/6 five sixths
