No, hyphens are not used in word fractions like "one fifth" or "two fourths." These fractions are typically written as two separate words. However, when used as adjectives before a noun, they can be hyphenated, as in "one-fifth of the cake."

When your writing an essay that supposed to be a certain number of words if use one word more than once does it count as one word?
Yes, it does, but you may be getting way too literal in your word count interpretation. Unless you have been told to be microscopically accurate, you count the number of words in a line and multiply by the number of lines. Usually the tiny words don't count (the, to, in, etc). There may be other methods of estimating word count; check with the teacher.
Do compound words have hyphens?
While it's true that some compound words have hyphens, all compound words do not. For example, the words horsefly, chestnut, and birdhouse are compound words, yet they don't have hyphens. On the other hand, a few words have hyphens, but are still compound words.A common rule in determining whether a compound word should be one word or two is how the word is used in context. Phrases that have a verb/noun or verb/adjective combination should be two words if the combined term is a verb and one word if the compound word is a noun or description. For instance, "my car will never break down" uses "break" as a verb, whereas "Michael had a breakdown" uses "break" as part of a noun. This is useful in determining the difference between one and two word compound phrases, but does not really help us with whether to hyphenate compound words or not.One usually consistently hyphenated form of compound words are those with a connecting middle word. Terms such as merry-go-round or mother-in-law are almost always written with a hyphen. One exception is commander in chief, which is frequently seen without the hyphen, especially when referring to the President of the United States as an alternate title.

Is a hyphenated word considered as one word?
You should always make the distinction between a compound word (such as homework) which is one word, and a hyphenated word, such as cross-reference, which is listed in the dictionary as one word, but is made from two words. Hyphenated words are two separate words linked to create a new word, or combined to form a common adjective. For example, on-site is an adjective meaning done on the site. Similarly, a low-budget film is neither a low film or a budget film. Hyphens are generally not used for verb pairs such as count down or mix up, but the nouns are one word (countdown, mixup). Some compound words such as makeup and homestyle have hyphenated variants that mean the same thing. Over time, many paired words become hyphenated and later may become one word.
How do you know when you have written a thousand words?
If writing by hand - count the number of words on one line - then multiply the number of lines by that first number. If using a computer - most word-processing programs have a word-count function in them.
