Ordinal numbers as fractions
The majority of fractions can be constructed from the ordinal numbers, and are masculine in gender. They are usually introduced by the definite article (as opposed to the indefinite article or absence of article in English):
- Le cinquième des élèves ont été recalés
A fifth of the pupils have failed
- Les sept dixièmes de la population du monde sont pauvres
Seven-tenths of the world's population are poor
