How to Use the Inch Fraction Calculator

The Inch Fraction Calculator is a versatile tool designed to convert between various units of measurement commonly used in construction, engineering, and everyday life. Here's how to use it effectively:

Conversion Formulas

The calculator uses the following formulas for conversions:

• Decimal Inches to Fraction: \(Fraction = \frac{Decimal \times 16}{16}\)
• Inches to Feet: \(Feet = \frac{Inches}{12}\)
• Inches to Millimeters: \(mm = Inches \times 25.4\)
• Inches to Centimeters: \(cm = Inches \times 2.54\)

Calculation Steps

1. Enter the value you want to convert in the "Enter Value" field.
2. Select the unit you're converting from in the "From" dropdown.
3. Select the unit you're converting to in the "To" dropdown.
4. Click the "Convert" button to see the result.

Example Calculation

Let's convert 2.5 decimal inches to a fraction:

1. Enter 2.5 in the "Enter Value" field
2. Select "Decimal Inches" in the "From" dropdown
3. Select "Inch Fraction" in the "To" dropdown
4. Click "Convert"

Calculation:

\(2.5 \times 16 = 40\)

\(Fraction = \frac{40}{16} = \frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2}\)

Therefore, 2.5 decimal inches is equal to 2 1/2 inches.
