From the standard, the international inch, 25.4 mm exactly
The math
- A fraction is its top number divided by its bottom number: 55/64 in = 55 ÷ 64 = 0.859375 in.
- An inch is exactly 25.4 mm, so 0.859375 × 25.4 = 21.828125 mm, or 21.828 mm to three places.
- In feet, divide by 12: 0.859375 ÷ 12 = 0.071615 ft. In centimetres, divide the mm by 10: 2.1828125 cm.

A tape or rule marked more coarsely than 64ths can’t show 55/64 exactly. The nearest marks, and how far off each is (plus means the mark is bigger; a size exactly halfway goes to the bigger mark):
| Nearest | Mark | Off by (in) | Off by (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/8 | 7/8 in | +0.015625 | +0.397 |
| 1/16 | 7/8 in | +0.015625 | +0.397 |
| 1/32 | 7/8 in | +0.015625 | +0.397 |
