Typically, when referencing any numeric values under 10, they are actually spelled out (nine, as opposed to 9). Referencing numeric values above 10 are typically reference with the actual numeric digits and not spelled out. Numeric values below 10 are short and easy to spell-out and read. Although, depending on the writing style and purpose for the sentence, this 'guideline' can be overlooked. Some may write "See was 11 years old", while others may write "She was eleven years old". With shorter numeric references it is just as easy (and acceptable) to spell them out. When they are much larger numbers, such as 44,382, it is quite cumbersome to read the sentence that includes that number spelled out; * There were 44,382 people at the Basketball game last night. * There were forty four thousand, three hundred and thirty two people at the game last night. These two sentences make the same point (the number of people at the game last night), but the second one is harder and more complex to read. Making the human mind convert words back into numbers is not all that tough, but making your readers do it in the fluidity of a sentence can break the flow and tempo of a story.
