What is customary for writing out numbers? Is it common to write "6" ans but not 8h30?

When does "fou" come before or after the noun? I was playing with Google Translate to hear in one sentence between "the crazy horse, the crazy cow, the crazy man." It came up "Le cheval fou, la vache folle, l'homme fou." 

J'ai mangé un septième des pommes   or J'ai mangé le  septième des pommes
which one is true?

Should “nous nous sommes impatientés” actually be “nous nous sommes impatientées” because the “nous” refers to Noémie (female) and her “famille” (a feminine word)?

Loved this set of weekend workouts!

1.    Is there any significant difference between using emmenager & demenager?  In my classes, we've usually used demenager for "moving"

2. Why is it 'quelques annees' instead of 'quelques ans'?    at Il y a + [durée] = [duration] + ago (French Expressions of Time) , the example is given as Il est venu à Londres il y a cinq ans

Elle trouve que Sam EST belle.

versus

Elle trouve Sam ennuyeuse.

Does it work as a guide/rule that:

The presence of a conjugated verb after "trouve que" suggest both that

1) "trouve que" is being used in the sense of "think/find that...(clause)," and also

2) that "que" is necessary in the formation of such a sentence?

For comparison: "Elle trouve Sam est belle" would be grammatically incorrect.
