How to convert fractions to tenths
- Convert the fraction to a decimal inch (e.x., 3/8 → 0.375 in).
- Round to the nearest tenth if needed (0.375 → 0.4 in).
- To express in tenths, multiply inches by 10 (0.4 in → 4 tenths).
Worked examples
- 2⅜ in → 2 + 0.375 = 2.375 in → rounded to tenths ≈ 2.4 in → 24 tenths.
- 5¹⁄₁₆ in → 5 + 0.0625 = 5.0625 in → rounded to tenths ≈ 5.1 in → 51 tenths.
- 7/8 in → 0.875 in → rounded to tenths = 0.9 in → 9 tenths.
Tip: When drawings call for strict tolerances, avoid rounding to tenths—stick to exact decimals or use the calculator above for precise inch to tenths conversion.
Tenth of a foot ≠ tenth of an inch
Don’t mix them up: 0.1 ft = 1.2 inches — which is not the same as 0.1 inch.
When specs mention “tenths” make sure they mean tenths of an inch, not tenths of a foot.
inches = feet × 12inches = tenths_of_foot × 1.2If you need a tenth of a foot calculator, multiply feet by 10 to get tenths-of-a-foot; then convert to inches using the rule above.
- Example: 3.4 ft → inches = 3.4 × 12 = 40.8 in.
- Example: 6 tenths of a foot → inches = 6 × 1.2 = 7.2 in.
