This is possible, but a better way to do this particular fraction is

SochmaH vagh vatlhvI'
Seventy-five percent

1.5 would be either

wa' vI' vagh
One point five

or
wa'vatlh vaghmaH vatlhvI'
One hundred fifty percent.

To indicate a distance in kellicams, just add it to the end.

wa' vI' vagh qelI'qam
wa'vatlh vaghmaH vatlhvI' qelI'qam
