Topic : Re: Using Numbers in APA: 10 and 5 in the same sentence I have a sentence in my manuscript with the following structure: "As to the technologies...., 10 participants identified ...., and 5 participants - selfpublishingguru.com

You are correct! However, this was not always the case. Here's some background:

The fifth edition of the APA publication manual required the use of numerals when numbers below 10 were grouped for comparison with numbers 10 and above in the same paragraph.

For example:

"I saw 10 small dogs and 9 large dogs at the park today." (As you know, in other situations we would write "nine" instead of the numeral "9.")

However, the sixth edition of the manual dropped this requirement.
