However, it is no point using it if you do not know how to read a ruler. If you were to observe the common 12-inch ruler, there are two units of measurements on it. One would be in inches, and the other in metric. Generally, the metrics unit is used all around the world and is considered the most uniform system of measurement, while the unit of inches is used in the US.

To learn how to read a ruler based on inches, you will see that there are the numbers 1 to 12 on one side that indicates an inch between one another. In between each inch, there will be ticks. These refer to the fractions of an inch. If the object you are measuring falls between directly in the middle of the number 4 and 5, that would be read as 4 and 1/2 inches. The 1/4 inch tick would be half of the 1/2 inch tick, and if there was an additional 1/4 inch after the 1/2 inch tick, that would be read as 3/4th of dell latitude e5500 battery, dell latitude e5510 battery an inch. So what about the middle ticks in between the 1/2 inch and the 1/4 inch ticks? These would be known as the 1/8 inch.

You will basically need to count the number of ticks from the inch tick; for example, the fifth line between 3 inch and 4 inch, you will get 3 and 5/16th inches.

When the centimeter is on the same ruler as the 12-inch ruler, you will see that there is 30 centimeters altogether. Each number given indicates each centimeter, for example, if the measurement lands on the number 7, it reads 7 centimeters. Between each centimeter are nine ticks, which are the millimeters. All you will need to do is to count the number of ticks between each centimeter, and put them in one decimal point, for example, if you count up to 4 ticks between 8 centimeters and 9 centimeters, it would be read as 8.4 centimeters.
