I believe it is "score" in English, as in the Gettysburg Address:
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Which would give us, in this case, "four-and-a-half-score and nine".
Yes, same thing.
