The units are inches.

ex: .25 can be expressed as a quarter of an inch. How can we express .41 the same way?

Boy! With such a question you're saying that you're bad in math. You cannot convert decimals into inches... Inches into centimeters and vice versa can be done. What you probably want to know is how to convert a decimal into a fraction. .41 is more than a half an inch. This decimal is read the same as 41/100. Half an inch would be .50, to get a fraction divide 50/100, that is 1/2. If you cannot follow the example, look up fractions and decimals in your math books... Good luck!

The est answer is really a ad answer. Here is how to do it:
Ex: what is .41 feet?
1. Multiply .41 by 12, ecause there are 12 inches in a foot.
2. .41 X 12= 4.92. So .41 feet = 4.92 inches.B ut wait! We still have a decimal to deal with! Never fear. Do the same thing with a frqaction of an inch that gives you the accuracy you need. Let's say you can get away with a 16th of an inch accuracy. So...
3. Multiply .92 y 16 = 14.72. OK, throw away the .72, because you don't care about 72 hundredths of a sixteenth of an inch. Now we have 14/16ths. reduce the fraction and you have 7/8. So, .41 feet equals 4 & 7/8ths inches! See! That was easy, and the math was good for your brain!

Do you mean .41 inches to ,like, a fraction inches?
If so, 41 over 100 inches. (41/100)

.41 what?
If you mean feet, there are 12 inches in a foot...
so 12*.41 would give you 4.92 inches

Depends on which units the decimals are in, I think.
For example, 0.41ft * 12 in = number of inches.
