How do you read a 5 inch ruler?
You look at the markings on its edge.
What is the difference between a math straight edge and a math ruler?
A ruler has markings, a straight edge does not. In "straight edge and compass" constructions, you are not allowed to mark the straight edge. Things that are impossible using only a straight edge and compass are possible if markings are allowed (for example, it's possible to trisect an angle using a marked straight edge).
How many centimeters are there in a regular 12 inch ruler?
12 inches = 30.48 centimetres. However, the centimetre markings usually stop at 30 cm.
Why do you call a measuring stick a ruler?
They are in fact two different devices that are commonly mistaken. A "measuring stick" is a stick of a given length that is used to reference another object from it's total length. These usually have no markings as such, or any calibrated length. A "ruler" (aka straightedge) IS calibrated and has measurement markings. It is used to "rule" straight lines to an exacting measurement. Originally designed for the engineering industry, they have been useful in countless other areas throught history. A 2 second google search revealed this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruler
What is the definition of tape measure?

I just looked in another drawer and found a ruler with 400 mm markinga and a folding carpenter's rule with 2000 markings.

How does magnification and resolution compare?
Magnification is an enlargement of the specimen which looks bigger as the magnification increases. Resolution is the the smallest increment available. The difference between these can be explained with the example of a ruler that has 1/8" markings. Magnification will make the separation of the markings look bigger, but the resolution of the ruler doesn't change, the markings are still 1/8" apart. However, magnification can improve the resolution because you can now see things bigger. For example the separation between the markings of the ruler could be divided down even more under magnification.
