So in your case you would multiply 20.4 x 2 = 40.8 then divide by 10 you end up with 4.08 which is very close to 4.10. Did you check to see if the tag is still bolted on with the one of the cover bolts?

That makes sense! Thanks a lot I couldn't figure out how to do it and it was making me mad.

I did that too but came out around the same.

Here is a pic of mine for reference:
