QUOTE from Corypad:
This is simple mathematics (no offense meant). The number 0.1 (inch, mile, whatever) can be read as "zero point one" or "one tenth" or "ten hundredths" or "one hundred thousandths" or ... ad infinitum.
WOW...that little sentence of your just cleared up years of confusion...
is there a website available that explains the appropriate way to say these dimensions. I have looked but have been unable to find it.
still a little confused on the different ways people say it, My shop only uses english units (inches) and rarely do we use fractions, its exclusively in decimals.
Well I know how to read a micrometer very well, my question is on how to say the readings you get.
You learn at an early age the following (this part makes sense to me, both how you say it and its mathematical representation):
10 = tens place
1 = ones place
.1 = tenths place...
