Drawing programs measure distances in ten-thousandths of an inch, like 73.0185, but carpenters work in feet, inches, and thirty-seconds of an inch, like 6 feet 1 and 1/32 inches. Your task is to write a program that takes a measurement in decimal notation and returns the measurement in carpenter’s notation.
If you are unfamiliar with imperial measurements, you need to know that there are twelve inches in a foot.
For example:
0 => 0 feet 0 inches 0.2785 => 9/32 inch 1.6895 => 1 and 11/16 inches 11.9999 => 1 foot 12.2785 => 1 foot 9/32 inch 71.9999 => 6 feet 72 => 6 feet 72.3492 => 6 feet 11/32 inch 72.9999 => 6 feet 1 inch 73 => 6 feet 1 inch 73.0135 => 6 feet 1 inch 73.0185 => 6 feet 1 and 1/32 inches 73.8218 => 6 feet 1 and 13/16 inches

Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
