1-3/8 inch in decimal and mm

Decimal inches

1.375 in

Millimetres

34.925 mm

From the standard, the international inch, 25.4 mm exactly

The math

  1. A fraction is its top number divided by its bottom number: 1-3/8 in = 1 + 3 ÷ 8 = 1.375 in.
  2. An inch is exactly 25.4 mm, so 1.375 × 25.4 = 34.925 mm.
  3. In feet, divide by 12: 1.375 ÷ 12 = 0.114583 ft. In centimetres, divide the mm by 10: 3.4925 cm.
  4. The same size in finer steps: 1-3/8 = 1-6/16 = 1-12/32 = 1-24/64. A tape marked in 16ths, 32nds or 64ths shows it at those marks.
