Hi，can i just say "one of five" for 1/5? "one of a hundred" for 1/100?

[@listening2english613]

For countable nouns you can say "one out of five" or "one in five." For example, "One out of five students has a part-time job." Or, "One in five students has a part-time job." You can also say, "One out of every five students has a part-time job." These methods are mostly done for emphasis -- perhaps in a presentation, in conversation, or in a news story. In more formal writing and speaking it would be, "One fifth of students report that they have a part-time job."

ممكن اقول او اكتب fifteenth بدل fifteen هل هذا صحيح

[@listening2english613]

Regarding fractions, such as 1/15, the correct and most common phrasing is "one fifteenth." However, the fraction could also be stated as "one over fifteen." The phrasing "one over fifteen" is used more often in a math or algebra class. Regarding other uses, fifteen and fifteenth are both correct, but they have different uses. Fifteen is a "cardinal number." Fifteenth is an "ordinal number." Cardinal numbers, such as fifteen, are used to describe "amounts." For example, "How many students were in the class? There were fifteen students." "How much did it cost? It cost fifteen dollars?" Ordinal numbers, such as fifteenth, are used to "describe the position in a sequence of numbers." For example, in a race, the person who wins the race would say, "I came in first." The next runner to cross the finish line would say, "I came in second," and the next runner would say, "I came in third." "I came in fifteenth" means that I was the fifteenth person to cross the finish line. In English, you need to use ordinal numbers for the dates of the year. This is because historically dates were stated as "The first day of January." "The fifteenth day of March." In North American English, the dates are now more commonly stated as "January first" or "March fifteenth." In short, cardinal numbers and ordinal numbers have different uses. Students of English need to learn both types of numbers and when to use them. Hope that helps.
