Hi!

A: Which days are these classes on?
B: The first class is a Tuesday and Thursday class from two to three. ← Original text

Because the original sentence doesn’t fit in a line, I want to use numbers instead of letters.

B: The first class is a Tuesday and Thursday class from two to three. :backhand_index_pointing_down:

B: The first class is a Tuesday and Thursday class from 2 to 3.

Is it okay to convert letters into numbers in the second sentence?
Is this allowed? ←

Thank you

I like “two to three” better.

In general it’s better to spell out single digit numbers. It’s not really about the number of digits though. It’s about the number of words needed to spell it out. If spelling it requires three or more words, use numerals. Some people use numerals for two word numbers.

It’s better to write the following:

From 14:00 to 15:00. Writing the hours in full might be completely misunderstood entirely. This version leaves no room for misinterpretation.
