Language point

Pay attention to the following:

seven / 7 is a Number.
Seven is a Word.
7 is a Figure.
1.7 is a Decimal.

So if you are asked to write these figures in words, then it will become:
15 = fifteen (word)
16.5 = sixteen point five (word)
500 = five hundreds
Language point

Or if you are asked to write these words in figures, then it will become like this:

Seventeen = 17
Eigth point seven = 8.7
Twelve point three = 12.3
one hundred and one = 101
