i%26#039;m ordering a pair of children%26#039;s shoes and the measurements are in inches. i get 5.25 or 5.75 but 5.88 or 6.07 no clue.

What is 5.88 on a ruler? 5 inches and ??
1 inch is graduated in 16 parts. This should mean that 1 inch is 16/16. Note that.in the ruler. Then, 0.88 x 16/16 = 14/16.


Therefore 5.88 inches is 5 and 14/16 inches


Reducing the fraction to lowest term, we get;


5 and 7/8 inches.
