10 gauge as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

To understand the conversion of a gauge measurement to a decimal, one must first understand the concept of gauge and its relation to thickness measurements. Gauge is a standard unit of measurement that indicates the thickness of a material, such as metal. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the material. A decimal, on the other hand, is a way to express numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part.
