I prefer Smith & Wollensky for my afternoon snacks

Maybe I should have paid attention more in calc and diff eq but.. Can anyone convert 1/16" toe to degrees needed?

Tech put the car up on the alignment rack and asked me what specs I wanted. I said 1.5/1.6 deg camber F/R and 1/32 toe in on both. He asked me 1/32nd of what lol!

Anyone know what it translates to in degrees? I believe wheel diameter comes into the equation from a quick search..
