Subject:Usage Question - units in a numerical range From:Keri Morgret <morgret -at- stanfordalumni -dot- org> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 25 Apr 2003 10:32:43 -0700
I'm writing a table where I am indicating the range is 15-20 feet, and am
using ' for feet, and also including the rough metric range of 3-5 meters
Do I write 15'-20'? or 15-20'?
3m-5m or 3-5m or 3-5 m?
I'm thinking that I should put the units by both numbers, but can't find
anything to help clarify in my library.
TIA,
Keri Morgret
