For telling about parts of a number, the Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB) uses fractions, and the Unlocked Dynamic Bible (UDB) uses mostly decimals when the number is used with a measurement. Another difference between the ULB and the UDB is that when measuring [Biblical Distance](../translate-bdistance/01.md), [Biblical Weight](../translate-bweight/01.md), and [Biblical Volume](../translate-bvolume/01.md), they use different systems, so the numbers in the ULB and the UDB are not the same for these measures.
>They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be <u>two and a half cubits</u>; its width will be <u>one cubit and a half</u>; and its height will be <u>one cubit and a half</u>. (Exodus 25:10 ULB)
The ULB uses the fraction "half." This can also be written as a decimal: .5.
>Tell the people to make a sacred chest from acacia wood. It is to be <u>one meter</u> long, <u>0.7 meter wide</u>, and <u>0.7 meter</u> high. (Exodus 25:10 UDB)
The ULB uses the fraction "half." The phrases "two and a half cubits ... one cubit and a half" can be written as "2.5 cubits ... 1.5 cubits."
The UDB uses the decimal 0.7. This equals seven tenths.

Here the decimal 0.7 is used. This equals seven tenths.
Two and a half cubits is about one meter.
