How do you read a tape measure in 100ths of a foot?
Unless you happen to come across a measure that gives 1/12 of an inch, te answer is that you cannot. Tape measures do measure in 1/8, 1/10 and 1/16 inches but I do not recall seeing any that measure in 1/12 inch.You could, of course, measure 12 identical items to a accuracy of an inch and divide the total length (expressed in feet) by 100.Unless you happen to come across a measure that gives 1/12 of an inch, te answer is that you cannot.

What is 2.290 inches on a tape measure?
You will not be able to measure to that accuracy using a tape measure. You should have marks at tenths of an inch and so you will get 2.3 inches on the tape measure. If you have a tape measure that has divisions to 1/32 of an inch then 2 and 10/32 is the nearest.
How do you measure centimeters on a tape measure?
If you have a tape measure that measures in inches. First convert the inches to decimal inches. So 1-15/16" would be 1 + 15/16 or 1.9375. Next multiply that number by 2.54 to get centimeters. So 1.9375 x 2.54 would be about 4.92 centimeters.
