dimension problem

This is weird.  I'm dimensioning a drawing and Fusion is telling me that 9 1/4"+ 9 1/4" = 18 1/4".  What's weirder, using the measure tool in my model I'm getting 18.333".  (The measure tool is also telling me that the 18 3/4" dimension on the left is 18.666 in the model.)  I don't know what to trust.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  It must be a rounding error?  When I switch to decimal it tells me 9.17 + 9.17 = 18.33...close enough!  So what's right?

 

EDIT:  I redid this in metric and the numbers all add up.

So when did 9 1/4, ever equal 9.17, 

Must be those new school ciriculums, cause it will always be 9.25 at my place.

Just answered my own question.  Found the "dimension precision" dialogs.  Brilliant program but wow, deep!
