hi all,
i have a little problem and i cann't figure it out.
cake base width is 1cm then the ribbon has to be 1cm, which is 0.39 inches but in the shop the withs are written in fractions.
so 7/8" is how many cm?
5/8'' is how many centimeters
3/8"?
i am sorry if it is such a stupid qustion , i tried the lenght conversion sites but they all give them in normal numbers. fractions are no no for me 
That's very helpful, but I'm wondering if there is a conversion chart available somewhere? I've noticed a lot of the cutters coming out of the UK have cm measure and I can't figure out how big they are! 
Are you saying you can't use the conversions because they only take decimals? If so, it's super easy to convert from fractions to decimals.
Just take a calculator and do 7 divided by 8 = 0.875. This can then be inserted into the conversion tables. See... super easy! 
You can save this post so whenever in doubt, we've done it all for you. 
Here's a nice little conversion table:

I'm not sure if you're talking to me or not, but let me explain the difficulty I'm having. I have some cutters on wishlists and they are advertised "largest 160 mm, smallest 120 mm" and "largest 5 cm, smallest 1.75 cm." It gets confusing with mm and cm converting to inches -- something I've never known how to do.

I was actually referring to the OP. I usually google inches conversion or length conversion, for example. This will pop up a ton of convertors. Just throw in the number and presto! it's done for you. It might be good to do a standard table for things you commonly see for mm or cm to inches just for an easy goto chart.
The link I posted is one of the conversion tables. Hope this helps!

Thanks! That does help! I also like the idea of having a ruler near my desk! 
There is a nice online tool to help convert inches to cm and vice versa
http://www.inch-to-cm.info . It's also has help to convert inches to other metric system lengths such as meter and mm.
