The 5.9383 is a decimalised version, e.g. is 5 whole feet and 93.832% of 12 inches. 0.5 = 6 inches. 0.75 = 9 inches. 0.93832 is just over 11 inches. 0.93832 is not 9 and a bit inches. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like a clock 5:50 isn’t half past five (0.50 isn’t a half), it’s ten to six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
