Hi,
I'd really appreciate it if any of you could help me with this:
When you express a number below 1, does a unit for the number take a singular form, or plural?
For example, I know 17.5 is plural and therefore you use "centimeters." But what if you use "meter" as a unit? Which do you use, 0.175 meters or 0.175 meter?
1) 0.01 kilogram or 0.01 kilograms?
2) 1.1 inch or 1.1 inches?
3) -0.1 degree or -0.1 degrees?
I'm confused, but I believe there's a strict rule for this.
Thank you.
