Best Answer

On a normal ruler the smallest increment (the smallest or shortest lines) is the 1/16" measurement. They are very close together, (this is a relative statement), in the context of just how close a person thinks the 1/16th" incremental mark is to the closest mark next to it.

What does .79 of an inch look like on a us ruler?

You will not be able to see 0.79 of an inch on a US ruler. The best you can hope for is 0.8 inches. On a ruler, an inch is usually divided into 10 or 16 parts - the smaller, unnumbered marks between the inch marks. You can get 32 divisions on tape measures but they are unusual on rulers. Select a part of the ruler in which each inch is divided into 10 parts. Eight of them will make 0.8 inch. You will not be bale to tell the difference between 0.8 inch and 0.79 inches by eye!


where is 1.18 inches on a ruler?

1.18 inches on a ruler would be located between the 1 inch and 2 inch markings on the ruler. It would be slightly closer to the 1 inch mark than the 2 inch mark. Keep in mind that most rulers are divided into 16 equal parts per inch, with each tick mark representing 1/16 of an inch. So, on a standard ruler, the 1.18 inches mark would be located slightly beyond the 18/16 (1.125) mark and slightly before the 19/16 (1.1875) mark.
