How fractions and decimals read in languages that speak the lower digits first?

For example I believe in German they would say four and twenty instead of twenty-four. What are the differences for fractions and decimals?

Dutch has same way. And if the fraction is like 4.5 you just say “four and a half”. For more complex numers, like 24.57582, you’d say twentyfour dot five, seven, five, eight, two.

Twenty four point five
Four and twenty point five
Four and twenty and one half

Pretty much stays the same
