Number Conversion
If you are using a standard tape measure, the measurement must be converted into feet and tenths
of a foot. For example: a distance of 35’–6” would be entered into the system as 35.5 feet. Whole
inches can be easily converted by dividing by 12 (6/12=.5). Fractions of an inch are converted
by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example: 1/4 inches would be entered as .25
(1/4=.25). Conversion of whole inches and fractions of an inch (for example 6-1/4”) are converted
by first converting the fraction to a decimal and then dividing by 12. In this case 6-1/4” is converted
to 6.25 and then divided by 12 which equals 0.520. Refer to the Fraction to Decimal Conversion
Chart on page A-5.
When entering weights, the number must be converted by moving the decimal three places to the
left. For example: a weight of 1,400 pounds would be entered as 1.4, and a weight of 300 pounds
would be entered as .300.
