To read a tape measure to 64ths, first identify the longest lines, which represent whole inches, followed by shorter lines for half inches, quarter inches, and eighth inches. The lines between these represent sixteenths, with each inch divided into 64 equal parts. Each mark after the eighth inch is a 16th, and the smallest lines represent 1/64 of an inch. Count the lines carefully, starting from the inch mark, to determine the precise measurement.
