Question

what fraction of the letters in the word "multiply" are vowels?

Answer 1

how many letters are there?

Answer 2

is y considered a vowel in this case? a,e,i,o,u, (sometimes y)

Answer 3

Yea I think y is a vowel in this case because it sounds like an i.
It can also sound like a j (like in yes and beyond), in those cases it's a consonant.

Answer 4

Yes, but it makes long I sound, not short I

Answer 5

Well, I guess that doesn't matter.

Answer 6

@popotito Take the amount of vowels and divide that by the total number of letters.
