Science - Mathematics & Statistics / Penalty Clause | | Spanish term or phrase: EL DOS AL MILLAR, de las Estimaciones de Trabajos Ejecutados.... | How can I express this in either words or figures: I am assuming it means 0.002%, am I correct? "One Two Thousandth"??? Is that the same thing?
Thanks. |
