    READING
    How to read a rule/ruler.

    Reading an English Ruler


    it has12 lines that denote inches on
    the ruler. 12 inches equals 1 foot
    (0.3m). The 1 foot (0.3m) is broken
    down into inches. Each inch is broken
    down into 15 smaller marks, equaling
    16 marks in total for each inch on the
    ruler

    Learn the inch marks


    A ruler is made up of 12 inch
    marks. These are typically the
    numbered marks on the ruler and
    are denoted by the longest lines on
    the ruler.

    Learn the 1/2 inch marks


    The 1/2 inch marks will be the second
    longest lines on the ruler, half as long as the
    inch marks. Each 1/2 inch mark will come
    midway between each inch number because
    it is half of an inch. This means that marks
    directly between the 0 and 1 inch, 1 and 2
    inches, 2 and 3 inches, and so on across the
    ruler, are the 1/2 inch marks. In total, there
    are 24 of these marks on a ruler.

    Learn the 1/4 of an inch marks


    halfway in between each 1/2 inch line,
    there will be a smaller line that denotes a 1/4
    of an inch. In the first inch, these marks will
    mark 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch. Although the
    1/2 inch and 1 inch marks have their own
    lines, they are still part of the 1/4 of an inch
    measurements because 2/4 of an inch equals
    half an inch and 4/4 of an inch equals 1 inch.
    There are a total of 48 of these marks on a
    ruler.

    Learn the 1/4 of an inch marks

    Learn the 1/8 of an inch


    marks

    The 1/8 of an inch marks are the


    smaller marks found directly in between
    the 1/4 of an inch marks on the ruler.
    Between 0 and 1 inch, there are marks
    that denote 1/8, 1/4 (or 2/8), 3/8, 1/2 (or
    4/8), 5/8, 6/8 (or 3/4), 7/8, and 1 (or 8/8)
    of an inch. In total, there are 96 of these
    marks on a ruler.

    Learn the 1/16 of an inch


    marks

    The small lines halfway between


    each 1/8 of an inch denote 1/16 of an
    inch. These are also the smallest lines
    on the ruler. The very first line on the
    left hand side of the ruler is the 1/16
    of an inch mark.

    Learn the 1/16 of an inch


    marks
    Between 0 and 1 inch, there are marks
    that denote 1/16, 2/16 (or 1/8), 3/16, 4/16
    (or 1/4), 5/16, 6/16 (or 3/8), 7/16, 8/16 (or
    1/2), 9/16, 10/16 (or 5/8), 11/16, 12/16
    (3/4), 13/16, 14/16 (or 7/8), 15/16, 16/16
    (or 1) of an inch. There are a total of 192
    of these lines on the ruler.

    Reading a metric ruler


    A metric ruler uses the metric
    system, which measures in centimeters
    instead of inches. There should be 30
    centimeters on the ruler, which are
    designated by large numbers on the
    ruler.

    Reading a metric ruler


    Between each centimeter
    (cm) mark, there should be 10
    smaller marks called
    millimeters (mm).

    Learn the centimeter marks

    The large numbers next to the


    longest lines on the ruler denote the
    centimeter marks. A metric ruler has
    30 of these marks.

    Learn the 1/2 of a centimeter marks


    halfway between each centimeter,
    there is a slightly shorter line that
    denotes 1/2 of a centimeter, or 0.5cm.
    There are a total of 60 of these marks
    on the ruler.

    Learn the millimeter marks


    Between each 0.5cm line, there are
    four additional lines that denote the
    millimeter marks. There are a total of 10
    lines per centimeter, with the 0.5cm line
    acting as the 5 millimeter mark, making
    each centimeter 10mm long. There are
    300 millimeter marks on the ruler.
