Fractions in latex

A fraction 1/4 gets read as fraction 1 divided by 4 but one would expect one fourth.
The word "fraction" should be omitted.
The preferred way of reading in earlier years is three eighths instead of three divided by eight. (note: latex is read double in many cases, is there a way to avoid that?)

$\dfrac {1}{4} $

Surface measurements and volume measurements aren't read correctly, without the context of a sentence.

Below are some separate examples:


$1 m^2 = 100 dm^2$
Latex
this is read as "... 100-d-square-meter"


$1 m^2$ = $dm^2$

this is read as "... []-d-square-meter"


1 m² = 100 dm²
this is read correctly


1 m² = 100 dm²
without math library: this is read as "is gelijk" instead of "is gelijk aan"


1 m² = dm²
this is read correctly


1 m² = dm²
this is read correctly


$1 m^3$ = $dm^3$
this is read as "1 cubic meter 1 cubic meter is equal to decimeter 3 cubic decimeter "


$1 m^3$ = $dm^3$
this is read as "1 cubic meter 1 cubic meter is equal to decimeter 3 cubic decimeter "


1 m³ = dm³
plain text:
read correctly


1 m³ = dm³
plain text:
read correctly


Wiskundige symbolen in latex worden niet allemaal goed voorgelezen

I've asked for input from the mathematicians, we'll update the feedback asap
