There can be no conversion. A decimal is a pure number, without any dimensions whereas an inch is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

A decimal number is a pure number whereas inches represent a measure of length or distance. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.

Inches can be expressed as decimals. 3/8 inch is the same as 0.375 inch.

You cannot convert decimals into inches. They are two different measuring systems. They are not interchangeable, like the measuring system and conversions of, say, inches, feet, and yards.
