Hi everyone,

I'm wondering how to deal with decimals (x.5, in particular).

According to one of my grammar books, половина depends upon the full number:
2.5 m = два с половиной метра
5 1/2 m = пять с половиной метров

What about 22.5 m? двадцать два с половиной метра? (the last part of the full number is 2...so...singular)?

Now, in another grammar book of mine, there's a sentence where they go for the singular form:
...36.5 m = тридцать шесть и пять десятых метра
I get that they were emphasizing the exact way of writing in decimals.

Is it wrong to say тридцать шесть с половиной метров?

Looking forward to your help - Thx in advance.
