Every value is an exact binary fraction of an inch, so the decimals end within six places. Bold rows are eighths and quarters.

READING A RULE

Pick the precision you can hold.

Tape measures usually read to 1/16″, steel rules to 1/32″ or 1/64″. Rounding a print dimension of 0.3125 in to the nearest 1/16 gives 5/16 exactly; 0.3 in rounds to 5/16 with a 0.0125 in error, which matters for a hole but rarely for a cut length.
