My car is 166.7 inches long according to the specs.
Car cover coverages are measured in feet and inches.
To compute how many feet and inches long my car is I used the following
calculations.
166.7%12
13.8917
(-<.)166.7%12
0.891667
12x *(-<.)166.7%12 NB. the x is not required, imo
10.7
Which seems to suggest the car is 13 feet 10.7 inches long, right?
Being a little annoyed at how difficult that calculation seems I decided to
try to also see how many 16ths of an inch is added, so I did the following
which seems to suggest between 11 and 12 sixteenths.
16x * (-<.) 12x *(-<.)166.7%12 NB. again, x is extra
11.2
I wonder if there is an easier way to do this, which in my recollection
seems to be in the wheelhouse of Ian's Tabula or its brethren. I had
expected #: to be involved in the calculations, but could not find such.
