question about numbers?

Hi,

I'm trying to say "another 1.6 billion people"

would that be... otros un mil millones seis millón personas?

the Otros and the Un sound awkward together :(

Without venturing into the dilemma of which number system you're working on (see Tiquismiquis post) how about ...

Uno coma seis billones de personas más.

Feel free to check with a native speaker though as this is just a guess (hopefully a slightly education one lol)

You may find this lesson on numbers helpful.

Literalmente "Otro uno coma seis billones de personas".

Pero OJO: un billón americano (US) no es lo mismo que un billón europeo (ahora mismo no recuerdo si en UK se ha llegado a imponer el criterio americano).

1,000,000 (1 million) = 1.000.000 (1 millón)

1,000,000,000 (1 billion) = 1.000.000.000 (1.000 millones o, en economía, 1 millardo)

1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) = 1.000.000.000.000 (1 billón)

Siguiendo el criterio europeo, sería "Otros mil seiscientos millones de personas". Todo depende de quién diga la cifra.
