Wrong answer. Forget about inches and use proper units: meter, centimeter, millimeter.
What do you call a measure ruler? A normal ruler or a caliper?
With a caliper you'll see the millimeter scale against a so called "nonius", which is kind of a millimeter scale but a little different.
Read just before the 0 of the nonius scale, roughly what the value is and then look where one of the lines on the nonius scale exactly meets a line on the millimeter scale. Read there the extra tenths (or even twentiesth) of a millimeter on the nonius scale.

If you still want inches, what I really do not understand, use the millimeter scale (which is easier to read and more precise) and divide the result by 25.4, because 1 inch is exactly 25.4 millimeters.

an inch is divided up 16 times thats 16 little lines between 0 and 1 so u can say 1/16 2/16 3/16 4/16 and so on but when a number can be broken down lower u do that 4/16=1/8 and 8/16= 1/2 get it very easy oh and the woman who says they r centimeter measurement is very very wrong dont listen to her she hasnt measured a thing in her life
