1/4 inch equals 6.35 mm (0.25 × 25.4 = 6.35). This is a common size for screws, bolts, and drill bits used in woodworking and construction.
3/8 inch equals 9.525 mm (0.375 × 25.4 = 9.525). This is a standard socket drive size and a common measurement for plumbing fittings.
First convert the fraction to a decimal (e.g., 3/8 = 0.375), then multiply by 25.4. So 3/8 inch = 0.375 × 25.4 = 9.525 mm. Alternatively, multiply the numerator by 25.4 and divide by the denominator: (3 × 25.4) / 8 = 9.525 mm.
