Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems / nickel leaching
Spanish term or phrase: a una cuarta parte
Sounds like a stupid question, but I'm a little tired and that might be the reason



Al no reconocerse minerales de niquel en las muestras estudiadas petrográcamente se efectua un análisis por niquel de los diferentes minerales que componen la muestra, utilizando una micro-sonda electrónica. Este análisis puso de manifiesto que el niquel se hallaba presente en todos los minerales, aunque predominaba en la serpentina y hematites siendo menor su proporción en la cromita y reduciéndose ***a una cuarta parte*** aproximadamente en la picotita y ortopiroxeno.

I think it should read "una cuarta parte", no "a una cuarta parte"
