free inch foot calculator

Depends on what you want the result to be, if you enter

1 foot 3/4 inches + 4 foot 17/32 inches in foot

into google, it will give you the answer in decimal form:

(1 foot (3/4) inches) + (4 foot (17/32) inches) = 5.10677083 foot

or do you want the answer in feet and inches also, your original post
is not clear on that point.

Bert

I recently posted about a dandy calculator I got for Christmas that
does just what you want. Its not free, but its handy and not too high
priced. Someone said he has seen these in Walmart for $12.95. Its
called a project calculator and accepts entries in fractional feet and
inches and presents the fractions on the screen. It also has a toggle
feature to show the nearest common measurement. For example, display
59/64, press the toggle and see 7/8, then toggle back to 59/64.

Do a Google search on Martindale's calculators. There are ALL kinds of
calculators there-- this link may work
http://www-sci.lib.uci.edu/HSG/RefCalculators.html

OK-- I was off- with the previous post- here is one that works
www.martindalecenter.com/Calculators.html-- just went there
Phil

One is at:
<http://www.woodmagazine.com>
then enter "calculator" in the search box

This link (if it works) will take you directly to it:
<http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/story.jhtml?storyid=/templatedata/wood/story/data/195.xml>
Bert

Do a Google search for that filename, FTCLC2.ZIP, a couple of other
sites have it, like:

<http://www.woodworkersweb.com/downloads.php> or
<http://drn.digitalriver.com/product.php%5Bid%5D29736%5BSiteID%5Ddemocity>

I found the file at another location on the net. When I tried to run
it, I discovered that its one of those silly programs of bygone PC days
that requires a Visual Basic run-time library installed on your PC.
Its not worth the effort in my opinion.

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.

Bob

Guess who,



Thanks for this link http://www.mrcalculator.com/inches.html in combination
with the application that armoraciarusticana suggested, my feet and inches
calculations are fulfilled. Thanks for the precise help.

Richard, I must not have been clear enough. I need to add and or subtract
inches and feet, not convert. '"1 foot in inch" in the search area, it will
respond with 12 inches...' Your response is irrelevant.

Use metric units and live becomes much easier!

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"

Have you tried Google? If you enter "1 foot in inch" in the search
area, it will respond with 12 inches. It works with other types of
measurements as well.

RA

This shoud be the direct link to the file
http://mrdthmedia1.meredith.com/downloads/wood/software/frac/ftclc2.zip

But it does not d/l from their site. I can't seem to win.

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".

You need to do a few things to get this software to work.



1st get it from this site
http://drn.digitalriver.com/product.php%5Bid%5D29736%5Bcid%5D37%5BSiteID%5Ddemocity
or search on Google.com for the following file ftclc2.zip.



Since the application is old you might need the following dll file,
VBRUN300.DLL. You can get this file from www.dll-files.com. Place the file
in C:\WINNT\system32 if you have Windows 2k. In other Windows version I am
not sure.



Thanks for your precise help Bert.

Do you have Excel on your computer? Any chance you could program in a few
calculations and use that for your calculator?

There is no calculator that does such a thing at this site, that I could
find. Thanks for the help.

I'm not trying to offend here, but what do you find so difficult about
using pencil and paper? You sound quite intelligent. I'll be glad to
put something together here in the way of what to look for to avoid
difficulties. Having to use ASCII might make it a bit tough, but it
should be no problem.

I've seen people reach for the calculator to divide by 10, and wonder
if it's sometimes just not being bothered to try. Sometimes we reach
for the calculator when all we need is a little more practice. If you
have real difficulty, why not invest a little instead of looking for a
freebie? It will be worth it. Here's a few sites:

If working at the computer:
http://www.mrcalculator.com/inches.html

Here's one for around $40.
http://www.calculated.com/products/4015.html?specialty

Do you have Home Depot nearby? [Sorry guys] Won't theat carry
something like that? Or, here, we have electronics stores that sell
them.

One of the finest craftsmen I met couldn't handle fractions easily, so
on the job he carried around two tapes and held them together to see
differences. He built very fine homes. He'd have used a calculator
like the one above, but they weren't around then.
