    Excellent videos sir. I would like to point out a potential mistake though. Probably just a mix up. 7'-5 1/4' in decimal feet is: 7.4368' In your comment description you have it listed as "By the end you will get why 7'-5 1/4" is: 7.1875'. I think you might have mixed up your in video example of 7'-2 1/4" with your in description example measurement. Just a thought :)

      +Andrew Fletcher Good observation. No mix-up. By truncating the infinite decimal 0.4166666666666 ... to just 3 decimal places I arrived to a result of 7.431625. A more accurate result can be obtained by dividing by 12 only once instead of 2 times so infinite decimals are eliminated. Converting inches-fractions to decimal inches will do just that: 7'-5 1/4' = 7 + (5.25 ÷ 12) = 7.4375` Same story with 7'-2 1/4" = 7 + (2.25 ÷ 12) = 7.1875` Four decimal digits, no rounding needed.

      Ahhh okay. Thank you very much. Your videos have helped me understand some first year plumbing mathematics in which my teacher was available at the time to help me understand so thank you very much :)
