free inch foot calculator

[Bob]

I followed your very explicit instructions and had the calculator working in no time. Thanks. The little calculator works as advertised.

On the other hand, if one is willing to pay the author the $15 registration fee, I think the hand held project calculator is a better investment of money for usefulness in the shop. I discovered that sears is selling the project calculator under the Craftsman brand with a read case for $19.95.

Guess who,

Thanks for this link

in combination with the application that armoraciarusticana suggested, my feet and inches calculations are fulfilled. Thanks for the precise help.

Finally, I think my free calculator came in the form of a high school course called "Practical Math" but that was befor the "new math" the op may not be so lucky.

Well, if you want software that works at adding and subtracting, then you find a kid in about the third grade, and give him/her a pencil and some paper, and ask them to do your adding and subtracting for you. Then you can stop the silliness.

Fine -- but why the devil do you need a calculator? Just add and subtract...

Example:

1' 3 3/4" + 3' 10 5/16"

First convert the fractions to a common denominator, thus:

1' 3 12/16" + 3' 10 5/16"

Now add; clearly the result is

4' 13 17/16"

Since 17/16" is the same as 1 1/16", this becomes

4' 14 1/16"

Since 14" is the same as 1' 2", this becomes

5' 2 1/16"

Or just skip the feet part of the deal altogether. I routinely record measurements in inches only and the math ends up less complicated. I'm not sure what half of 7'6" is, but I know half of 90" is 45".
