    Thanks for the in depth video. What tape measurer are you showing at around 2:35? The one that has the 32nd marks on it.

    so basically the most you can divide an inch is by 1/16 or 1/32 depending on the tape measure

    • @MeasuringMarvels
      @MeasuringMarvels  Рік тому +1

      Yes, it all depends on the measuring device you have at hand.

    If you ask your phone a question in deviding a measurement into three, it gives the fraction and the remaining in decimal.

      Siri just doesn't understand fractions very well. :-)

      Good catch. I do mention the gaff in the description text below. Back when UA-cam has those popup bubbles there was one at that very moment in the video making the correction. Ah well. I hope you found the video helpful in one way or another. Enjoy the day.
