Quote from the USGenWeb Project about the Read or Write:

"This question pertained to people over 20 years of age, but
occasionally you will see an 18 year old who has answered it as well. If
the field is marked on your census, then enter the letter X."

Martha Mumford 24 F
Joseph T " 10 M
Roxy A " 8 F
Mamey " 6 "
Mary 4 "
Rebecca " 3 "
Margaret J " 3/12 "

At the top it is stated that the enumeration date was 13 Jun 1860.

Margaret J was 3/12 of a year or 3 months old on that date. You also see
newborns as 3/365 meaning 3 days old.

FYI.... the page as viewed from Heritage Quest is one of the clearer
ones.
