  9. Inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch

    Subdivisions of an inch are typically written using dyadic fractions with odd number numerators; for example, two and three-eighths of an inch would be written as ⁠2 + 3 / 8 ⁠ ″ and not as 2.375″ nor as ⁠2 + 6 / 16 ⁠ ″. However, for engineering purposes fractions are commonly given to three or four places of decimals and have been ...
