How would you "say" this ?

Hello all, my very first post.

Probably more concerning drugs or any material, but it is sold in ounces (oz).

You have a Quarter, eigthth (1/8) then a sixteenth (teenth) (1/16) next is 1/32. Would it be a thirtytooth? thirtysecondth ? thirtysecond ?

How would you say these fractions, especially 1/32.

Was down the pub just last week and arguing about it. Any help much appeciated.

Update:

Ok, i've had 4 answers. thirty second, and thirty secondth. I guess i will have to take the majority. First correct answer to the majority will win the points.

Dan.

Update 2:

Very True Jay, but let's pretend i'm really poor. !!

    1/8th is spelled one eighth, not eigthth. Pronounced eight-th.

    1/16th is correct.

    1/32nd is spelled one thirty-second.

    Definitely thirty-secondth.

    Same as in other measurements such as music notes and astronomical degrees
