What's the form of noun following decimal number, fraction number, percentage? singular or plural?
These are some examples, I wonder which are right?
(1) decimal number: 0.6 meters, 1.6 meters, 1.5 cups ( Do they all use "plural" form? )
(2) fraction number: 1/2 meter, 5/2 meter, 2/3 class ( Do they all use "singular" form, even the number is larger than 1? )
(3)percentage: 60% of classes, 50% of water ( If I add "of" between percentage and noun, do they depend on the situation whether the noun is numerable? )
Please help me correct these examples, and tell me the know-how so that I can remember their usage.

Introduction to myself
This is my first writing in italki, I want to introduce myself as follows.
I'm a native Chinese speaker, and I have learned English for more than 10 years. Though I know many English vocabularies and can read English news smoothly, I didn't have oppotunity to communicate with foreign friends, so I often feel nervous when I speak English to native speakers.
Now I'm looking for an English language exchange partner. I'd like to chat with you to overcome my psychological barrier and improve listening and spoken English.
At present, I am a postgraduate student from Renmin University of China in Beijing, my major is computer science. I'm very passionate to help you learn Chinese. If you live near to my campus, just contact me at any time. I'm glad to chat with you face to face or have a journey on weekend.
I have visited many famous places in China, such as Huangshan, Shanghai, Nanjing, Kunming, Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Hefei and so on. If you want to go to these places, I can give some good advices. In addition, I know much about Chinese history. If you are also interested in Chinese culture and delicious food, I'm sure I'm the right person you are seeking.
