    Anybody good with measurements and fractions?

    I am cutting tile for my bathroom shower floor and I cant figure out these measurements.. lol



    the tiles are 11 - 3/4 Inches and I need to cut 9 square tiles from them.

    The blade is 1/8" thick

    If the tiles were 12" and the blade was paper thin it would be damn easy to figure out.. lol

      Just for clarification, do all the 9 resulting tiles have to be the same size?

      If not this is real easy

                  Each tile would be 3 and 2/3 inches.

                                  are you taking into consideration of the two cuts from the 1/8" blade?

                                          1/8 x 2 = 1/4 (or .25)

                                              If you want confirmation, I'm 100% sure as well. Just don't fuck up the cut!

                                                      Actually, I think they should each be 3.833333333333"



                                                      Yes, THIS ONE is correct. Sorry, I had the order of operations backwards on the last one.

                                                          I am thinking it might be easier with CM.. 11-34/ = 29.84cm
