 CALCULATE MAT BORDERS

INPUT: MAT AND WINDOW DIMENSIONS

Enter the Outer Dimensions of the Mat:
Measurements can be
entered as decimals or
fractions. When using
fractions insert a space Height: 16.00
between the whole Width: 16.00
number and the fraction.
For example: 7 1/2 Enter the Dimensions of the Window
Your imput will be
converted to decimals, Height: 12.00
but output is available in Width: 10.00
fractions.
