A minor correction: 1 and 11/16" = 1.6875" (or 1.69" to 2 decimal places).
Here's a quick reference (rounded to 2 decimal places) of the most common nut widths and their metric equivalents:
43mm = 1.69" = 1 and 11/16"
44mm = 1.73" = 1 and 3/4" (approx., 3/4" = 1.75")
45mm = 1.77" = 1 and 25/32"
46mm = 1.81" = 1 and 13/16"
47mm = 1.85" = 1 and 27/32"
48mm = 1.89" = 1 and 7/8" (approx., 7/8" = 0.875")
