.16 x 16 = 2.56 (That would be between 2/16 and 3/16).
.68 x 16 = 10.88 (That would be between 10/16 and 11/16).

.16 x 32 = 5.12 (5/32)
.68 x 32 = 21.76 (22/32, which is 11/16)

lets cross mutiply, its fun!

100x = 512
x = 512/100
x = 5.12

So, .16 = 5.12/32s (5/32-ish)

Now if a train was leaving Cleveland at 30 miles per hour and Johnny has three apples..

Wait till you get the door and trace it because it would sure suck to find out the measurements on the site were a typo and you cut too big..
