reading numbers

[daisy1352]

How do you read the number: the Boeing 747? Is it seven-four-seven? or seven forty seven? or both are correct?
Thanks

Hi
.
"Boeing seven forty-seven" is the usual way to say "Boeing 747".

There is another thread on exactly this subject. Americans say "seven forty-seven", the British say "seven four seven".
