Anyway - it occurred to me this morning (while teaching about fractions to a group of Spanish speaking students) that I don't know how fractions are worded in Spanish.

one-half two-halves - medio/media -dos medios
one-third two-thirds - un tercio - dos tercios
one-fourth two-fourths three-fourths - un cuarto - dos cuartos-tres cuartos
one-fifth two-fifths three-fifths - un quinto- dos quintos - tres quintos
one-sixth - un sexto- dos sextos
one-seventh - un séptimo - dos séptimos
one-eighth - un octavo - dos octavos
one-ninth - un noveno- dos novenos
one-tenth - un décimo - dos décimos

etc.... - etc.

Thanks!
