Check my math, please

I had posted earlier about how to measure chain stretch and found out (thanks to urban assault) that the stretch limit is 1/16 of an inch (.0625 inches) for every 12 inches of chain. As Svloid mentioned, 12 inches is hard to measure with calipers.

So my question is, to calculate the max amount of stretch for any given legnth of chain is the equation

(.0625/12)(any given chain legnth being measured)=max stretch? Thanks.
