How 69 is written
69 is the sum of its place values, 60 + 9, and is written sixty-nine.
Its ordinal form is sixty-ninth — only the final element takes the ordinal ending — and on a check the amount line reads "Sixty-nine and 00/100", where 00/100 stands for zero cents.
The hyphen in sixty-nine is required: English hyphenates every compound number from twenty-one to ninety-nine.
