Question: what is 2.4 inches on a tape measure?
Answer: If you have a measuring tape, 100 feet and 2.4 inches is hardly helpful. Most measuring tapes use fractions and are accurate to 1/16th of an inch. To convert 2.4 inches into the fractions used on a measuring tape, multiply the decimal by 16. For example 0.4 times 16 is 6.4, or approximately 6/16ths of an inch.
