99.999999% of the time .875 is .88 in 2 decimal places, and one place is
most likely .9.

I just finished looking at the plans to build Jake's Chair. The
dimensions were given in decimal form. There were several decimals
though that I didn't recognize such as .9 and .6. How are these
measurements figured?

That sucks if in inches--if metric, makes sense....

To convert to nearest 8th, 16th or 32nd...

0.9*8 = 7.2

0.9*16 = 14.4

0.9*32 = 28.8

Depending on how anal you are you can choose...

For me, I'd look at the 0.8 and figure it was sorry CAD formatting and
figure it was actually 0.875 rounded which would have been 7/8". 0.6
was probably 5/8".
