How do you measure up?
I myself prefer to use a ruler.
I was helping my youngest daughter with measurements and came across this lil asci layout describing the measurements with in an inch
Code:
Here's a ruler showing 16ths, with the meaning of each mark indicated: 0 1 | 1/2 | | | | | 1/4 | 3/4 | | | | | | | 1/8 | 3/8 | 5/8 | 7/8 | | | | | | | | | | | 1/16 | 3/16 | 5/16 | 7/16 | 9/16 | 11/16 | 13/16 | 15/16 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ Some rulers only go to eighths, and it might be easier to start with that: 0 1 | 1/2 | | | | | 1/4 | 3/4 | | | | | | | 1/8 | 3/8 | 5/8 | 7/8 | | | | | | | | | | +-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+ 0 1/8 2/8 3/8 4/8 5/8 6/8 7/8 1
