Could somebody proofread my flashcards?

I would like to practice numbers in Spanish, so I've created a card set that goes over every digit in the hundreds, tens, and ones. It also covers fractions from halves to tenths, and includes hundredths and a percentage.

Numbers, from Hundredths to Hundreds

I would appreciate help proofreading these. Are these correct as I have written them?

Arocoun,

Decimals are read like you would in English, thus 15.34 would read quince punto tres cuatro

(in some parts of the world they use commas instead of decimal points).

Certainly true in informal settings! I'm practicing for formal language, since that's where my interests are. The formal pronunciation (for things like Mathematics, Science, and such) is different in both languages, from what I've read. - arocoun, Feb 12, 2012
At least, that's how the Spanish mathematics sites describe decimals. I'll look it up a bit more. Thanks! - arocoun, Feb 12, 2012
True enough!! Just as in English, there is more than one correct answer. - CaliforniaDreamer, Feb 12, 2012
Mathematically is is always read as point three four. If you read it as point thirty four how do you determine how many decimal places to go to, it could be pint thirty four thousand, or million,or billion!!! - MaryMcc, Feb 12, 2012
MaryMcc --- his flash cards read quince y trienta y cuatro centésimos. I think this answers your question. - CaliforniaDreamer, Feb 12, 2012
It translates to Fifteen and thirty-four hundredths. Just as in English, it's the last word that describes how many digits after the decimal. - arocoun, Feb 13, 2012
Agreed!! - CaliforniaDreamer, Feb 13, 2012
