Default feet and inches

Can Excel display fractions for distances (measured in inches) with the
lowest common denominator?

For example...
5 8/16 (5.5) displayed as 5 1/2
3 10/16 (3.625) displayed as 3 5/8
1 13/16 (1.8125) displayed as 1 13/16

I'm amazed I haven't been able to find an answer to this on Google. You
would think with the construction industry being so large that this would be
a piece of cake. I've played around with Custom Number Format but haven't
found a solution. Any ideas?
