Question

When a dimension is given in inches and fractions of an inch, permissible tolerances are± 1/16" unless otherwise indicated.

Answer 1

This means that if a dimension is given in inches and fractions of an inch, the acceptable range for that dimension is plus or minus 1/16 inch, unless stated otherwise. This means that the actual measurement can vary by up to 1/16 inch in either direction from the given dimension.
