depending on the exactness you want) to get the number of 16th's inches:Ġ x 16 = 0. This is the fractional part of the inches value.ī) Multiply 0 times 16 (it could be 8, 16, 32, 64.

The previous step gave you the answer in decimal inches (0), but how to measure it in an ruler or tape? See below a procedure, which can also be made using a calculator, to convert the decimal inches to the nearest usable fraction:Ī) Subtract 0, the number of whole inches, from 0:Ġ - 0 = 0. Step 3: Convert from decimal inches to an usable fraction of inch Obviously, this is equivalent to 1.83 meters. Once 0 foot x 12 = 0 inch or 6 feet = 6 feet and 0 inches. So, take everything after the decimal point (0), then multiply that by 12 to turn it into inches. Step 2: Convert the decimal feet to inchesĪn answer like "6 feet" might not mean much to you because you may want to express the decimal part, which is in feet, in inches once its is a smaller unit. Step 1: Convert from meters to feetġ.83 meters = 6 feet. Once this is very close to 3.28 feet, you will almost always want to use the simpler number to make the math easier.
