Default Toe conversion from degrees to inches

I aligned my car today and the camber and caster dead on to the specs that came from my SC&C instructions. The toe said to set -1/16" but our alignment rack does not measure inches . I guessed and set -.30 degrees each side but I was wondering if there is a conversion.

I had mine done for a 1/16 inch total or 1/32 inch per side and it was 0.07 degrees on the left and 0.06 degrees on the right.

Here's a handy toe chart. Numbers are for ONE wheel.

Not talking a measurement. I am talking degrees of rotation.
