This is one of the conversions I find most annoying.
Let's forget the 9 inches for the moment, and focus on the 0.64, which is the same as the fraction (64/100). What you are trying to do is find "x" in this equation:
x / 16 = 64 / 100
Multiply both sides by 16:
x = ( 64 * 16 ) / 100
x = 1024 / 100
x = 10.24
Round 10.24 down to 10, and you have x = 10, and 0.64 = 10 / 16 , which also equals 5/8.
So, 9.64 inches approximately equals 9 5/8 inches.
