For myself, I've measured a few ring-sizers and derived the slope of the line, then plotted it on a chart, to get any fractional size. Here's a chart of quarter-sizes:

You may note that some of the sizes are not exactly the same as the above chart. Probably my fault, but I consider them within a reasonable margin of error.
