use numbers instead: 
4.5 x 20 = 90 

halvfems: 4.5 (just like in Norwegian when you say it's half 2 for 1:30)

And then there's "halvtreds" which means "fifty/50" but this part "halvtreds" means "sixty/60" and this part "halvtreds" means "half"

So 50 in Danish is "the half of 60"

it's because it's your native language you don't have to think about it you just execute, learners actually need to consciously deal with it until it's integrated in their brains
