Ten squares per inch is handy for plotting data precisely and for showing percentages: a 10 × 10 block is exactly 100 squares.
What 1/10" graph paper is good for
- Precise data plotting.
- Percentage and decimal models (10 × 10 = 100).
- Statistics homework.
How many 1/10" squares fit on a page
Whole squares only, grid centered on the page. With a 10 mm (about 0.4 inch) margin and with no margin:
| Paper | 10 mm margin | No margin |
|---|---|---|
| Letter (8.5 × 11 in) | 77 × 102 = 7,854 | 85 × 110 = 9,350 |
| Legal (8.5 × 14 in) | 77 × 132 = 10,164 | 85 × 140 = 11,900 |
| Tabloid (11 × 17 in) | 102 × 162 = 16,524 | 110 × 170 = 18,700 |
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | 74 × 109 = 8,066 | 82 × 116 = 9,512 |
| A3 (297 × 420 mm) | 109 × 157 = 17,113 | 116 × 165 = 19,140 |
| A5 (148 × 210 mm) | 50 × 74 = 3,700 | 58 × 82 = 4,756 |
With small squares, a thin line in a light color keeps the page from looking gray.
