11 gauge as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Understanding gauge sizes in decimals can be useful in various fields, especially in metalworking. A gauge is a measurement system used for the thickness of sheet metal. The gauge number increases as the thickness decreases. Converting gauge numbers into decimals allows for precise measurements. This conversion is essential for ensuring accurate specifications and standards in manufacturing and engineering.
