You can calculate it but I find it much easier to just look at a reference chart.

For example, I just calculated an angled cut to make on my table saw using the Pythagorean theorem. One of the cuts needs to be 3.19 inches. My tape measure is accurate to a 32nd of an inch so I look up 0.19 in the column below.

I see that 6/32 matches, which equals 3/16. So I need to cut a piece 3 & 3/16 inches long.

My next cut wasn't so lucky. I needed 2.08 inches and the closest I can get using my tape measure is 3/32. It's a tad long but it'll work for what I'm doing.

If you need more precise measurements then you should use something more accurate than a tape measure.

Sorry for the ugly formatting. This website won't let you paste a chart.

To convert decimals into inches on a tape measure, remember that 1 inch is equivalent to 1 whole unit. For example, 0.5 inches is equal to 1/2 inch, 0.25 inches is equal to 1/4 inch, and 0.75 inches is equal to 3/4 inch. Simply count the number of units indicated by the decimal to determine the measurement in inches on the tape measure.

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.

What is 2.2 inches on a tape measure?

On a tape measure, 2.2 inches would be the distance measured from the starting point on the tape measure. Each inch on a tape measure is typically divided into smaller increments, such as eighths or sixteenths of an inch, allowing for precise measurements. In this case, 2.2 inches would fall between the 2-inch mark and the 3-inch mark on the tape measure, indicating a measurement slightly over 2 inches.
