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 ...
In 1985, CI launched a calculator for the construction industry called the Construction Master [49] which came preprogrammed with common construction calculations (such as angles, stairs, roofing math, pitch, rise, run, and feet-inch fraction conversions). This would be the first in a line of construction related calculators.

A unit of measurement, or unit of measure, is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity.

At the time, Smoot was 5 feet, 7 inches, or 170 cm, tall. [18] Google Earth and Google Calculator include the smoot as a unit of measurement. The Cambridge (Massachusetts) police department adopted the convention of using Smoots to measure the locations of accidents and incidents on the bridge.
Horses are used to measure distances in horse racing – a horse length (shortened to merely a length when the context makes it obvious) equals roughly 8 feet or 2.4 metres. Shorter distances are measured in fractions of a horse length; also common are measurements of a full or fraction of a head, a neck, or a nose. [10]
The standard enthalpy change of combustion, ΔH° c, expressed per mole of ammonia and with condensation of the water formed, is −382.81 kJ/mol. Dinitrogen is the thermodynamic product of combustion: all nitrogen oxides are unstable with respect to N 2 and O 2, which is the principle behind the catalytic converter.
Typical part sizes range from 0.1 square inches (0.65 cm 2) to 20 square inches (130 cm 2). in area and from 0.1 to 4 inches (0.25 to 10.16 cm) in length. However, it is possible to produce parts that are less than 0.1 square inches (0.65 cm 2 ) and larger than 25 square inches (160 cm 2 ). in area and from a fraction of an inch (2.54 cm) to ...
Inner view of a 1998 Seagate HDD that used the Parallel ATA interface 2.5-inch SATA drive on top of 3.5-inch SATA drive, showing close-up of (7-pin) data and (15-pin) power connectors. Current hard drives connect to a computer over one of several bus types, including parallel ATA, Serial ATA, SCSI, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), and Fibre Channel.
