0.1

0.24

1 4/5

How do you read them and is there any differences in American and British?

Best Answer

I am a native British English speaker who has worked in an engineering environment in the US. I do not recall these numbers being pronounced differently between continents.

I would say:

0.1 Oh point one -or- one tenth

0.24 Oh point two four

1 4/5 One and four fifths

(However I'm prepared to be corrected by other engineers with multinational experience)
