The Conversion
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator:
Decimal = Numerator ÷ Denominator
To convert a decimal to a fraction, count the decimal places, put the digits over the corresponding power of 10, and simplify. For example, 0.375 = 375/1000 = 3/8.

Construction Fractions
Tape measures in North America use fractions of an inch (1/4", 3/8", 7/16", etc.). When entering these into calculators or spreadsheets, you need the decimal equivalent. The most common tape-measure fractions go to 16ths of an inch: 1/16 = 0.0625, 1/8 = 0.125, 3/16 = 0.1875, and so on. This converter handles any fraction, not just the common ones.
