make into fractions
If you have a ruler and a piece of string, you could use the string to find the distance around the bust (or whatever you wanted to measure), mark the point at where the string starts to overlap, then measure the string using the ruler.
the ruler is straight and the string is not so it makes it harder for you to measure the string
The answer depends on the graduations marked on the ruler.
Do what I do with my snakes - use a piece of string to get the approximate length from nose to tail - then lay the string on a ruler to get the measurement.
One reason why an inch on a ruler is cut into sixteen equal pieces is that, because an inch is so close to 1.62 = 2.56 centimetres (just 0.02 centimetres shorter) then it is visually and mathematically easy to partition the inch into sixteen equal pieces.
take the square and cut it into equal (pretty thin) rectangles\\for like a five inch square:put a ruler next to the square and cut in on the first one inch line.keep cutting in till you have 5 equal pieces
A person could always purchase separate sticks of candy rather than trying to divide a stick into equal pieces. A person could also use a ruler or a scale after cutting the candy stick to make sure all pieces are equal.
You tape the broken pieces of the ruler back together.
The circumference of any circle is the distance around the outside. You can take a piece of string and measure the outside of the quarter. See how much string fits around the outside. Then put that length of string up against the edge of a ruler and see how long it is.
