Hello Sandra, I'm curious: Do you also say "We'll be gone for one and half day"? The exam will last "one and half hour"? I will always, ALWAYS use the plural.

Greetings,
unlike some other languages where plural starts with 'two or more', English makes the division after 'more than one':
one half day BUT: one and a half days, two days, one or two days.
Pay attention that the following remain singular:
a pound and a half, a day or two, more than one day.
