Five eighths of an inch on a ruler would be located between the half-inch mark and the three-quarter inch mark.
It will be difficult to find 1.05 inches on a ruler. 0.05 is the same as 1/20 and 1/16 is usually the smallest increment found. Since 1/20 is smaller than 1/16, if it is possible to make a mark between 1 inch and the first sixteenth line, that's the best approximation.
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.
On a typical inch ruler the smallest lines are 1/16th dimensions. The next biggest are 1/8th", then 1/4", and finally 1/2".
Some are designed to measure 1/32 inch but that is not easy.
Five eighths of an inch on a ruler would be located between the half-inch mark and the three-quarter inch mark.
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.
It's almost exactly 1/5 of the way from the beginning of the ruler to the 1-inch mark.
It is between 1 inch and 1.5 inches, but closer to the 1.5 inch mark. It is essentially just short of the 1and 7/16 inch mark
Look at the markings between zero inches and one inch. There should be a larger mark right in the middle between the two. That's 1/2 (one half) inch. Right in the middle between 0 and 1/2 is a smaller mark - that's the 1/4 (one quarter) inch mark. On the other hand, the mark halfway between 1/2 and 1 inch is the 3/4 (three quarter) inch mark. In other words, the distance from zero to one inch can be divided into four equal steps with three marks in between; those are, respectively, 1/4 inch, 2/4 inch (= 1/2 inch), and 3/4 inch. 4/4 inch is equal to 1 inch.
It is 3/10 of an inch before 2 inches on the ruler
You start at zero, the one marks an inch from the zero mark, signifying one inch
You will not find 0.12 inches mark on the normal rule, but0.125 inches is 1/8th of an inch. Is that close enough?
1/10 inch = 1/10 inch

1 inch
It depends on the measuring instrument (tape or ruler) being used. Some are marked in 1/8 inch, some in 1/10 inch, some in 1/16 inch and, rarely for such long rulers, 1/32 inch.
