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 1/8 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.
