The longest line between 1 and 2 inches is 1/2 an inch. The longest line between 1/2 an inch divides 2 quarters of an inch. The longest line inside the quarter inch is 1/8 of an inch. Each individual line is a 1/16th of an inch. Count them. There are 16.
1/16th-1/8th-3/16ths-1/4-5/16ths-3/8ths-7/8ths-1/2-9/16ths-5/8ths-11/16ths-3/4-13/16ths-7/8ths-15/16ths-and 16/16ths which equals 1inch.
Dumb question. That ain't right KISStupid. Some people are not inclined to learn that sort of thing until they really need it. What I want to know is how does his question relate to hat size? Unless of course, your hat is on too tight.
In T.V.A , nuclear power, engineering, They had me to teach 3 different classes, One was math,Thru trig. #2 was Blue print reading #3 was - how to use the transent level and lay out a bldg, the worst was math, I had to start back in 5th grade math. Al though now I can understand why, When you dont use something all the time ,it is hard to recall and get it back, like right now i could not work a trig problem if it hit me square in the face, or even a algerbra problem and I used to be a math wizz all way threw school I always made stright (As) I built a german foundry once, and on the blue prints every thing was superimposed on one page , like foundations,plumbing ,electrical ect,ect. and all measurements were in metric, first time i ever got into metrics, I worked and studied every night in order to stay 10 steps aheasd of all the different crafts. IT ended up I finished the job , 1 1/2 mothes early OH well the good ol days, I do miss them . Magprob - IF you know how to read a regular type ruller a reg. steel tape measure reads the same , except you now also have metric measurements on them also, just read the part that is like on a reg ruller Good luck &GOD BLESS::: F.B.E.
I had an apprentice not that long ago that when I asked him the length of a stub 90, he said 7 inches, a big line , a little line and a little bit. Needless to say I spent quite a bit of time teaching him how to read a tape measure. They are out there (scary).
I don't know about anyone else but I was taught to read a ruler in 4th grade, It was part of math,,,,,,,,I cannot believe that a person was not taught this BASIC information at some point in their education.
