Just a simple question really. How do you say decimal numbers in Japanese?
For example 1.5 in English is read one point five. What is the Japanese equivalent?

The same as with English, we say "ten," the word for "point."
Note that as cc mentioned, 1.5 would be pronounced "ittengo," not simply "ichi-ten-go." If you say "ichi-ten-go," people would understand it alright, though. The change in pronunciation happens with 1 = ichi, and 8 = hachi, as well.
1.5 = itten go 2.5 = ni ten go 3.5 = san ten go 4.5 = yon ten go 5.5 = go ten go 6.5 = roku ten go 7.5 = nana ten go 8.5 = hatten go 9.5 = kyu ten go
