How to convert tenths to inches is done with a calculator.

We don't always get the measurement we need in our units.If you have a measurement that is accurate to a tenth of a foot, you can quickly convert it to inches with a quick calculation.

You can use the decimal by 12 to calculate how many inches you have.If the measurement is 100.2 feet, divide 0.2 by 12 to get 2.4 inches.

100 feet and 2.4 inches is not helpful if you have a measuring tape.Most measuring tapes use fractions and are accurate to 1/16th of an inch.If you want to convert 2.4 inches into the fractions used on a measuring tape, multiply the decimal by 16.0.6 times 16 is 6.4, or about 6/16ths of an inch.

Simply divide it by the common denominator.The common denominator is 2.1/6 is the same as 6/16.The final measurement is 100 feet, 2 and 1/6th inches.

0.1 feet is not as precise as 0.10 feet, which is why it's important to understand the conversion is almost always an approximation limited by the number of decimal points.A tenth of a foot is accurate to a half-inch.The number between 0.05 feet and 0.14 feet is rounded out to 0.1 feet.
