Answer:

  "and"

Step-by-step explanation:

Properly written, the word "and" separates the integer portion from the fractional portion of the number. If there is no "and", then there is no integer portion, so the number is a fraction less than 1.

Examples:

one and three tenths = 1 3/10

thirty-one thousandths = 31/1000
