How do you measure the width of something with a tape measure?

Ok so if you have a tape measure open it and I will show you how it is used exactly. So as you can see at the top which are the big lines of the tape measure they are called (inches). This is used for measuring the formula of a arm size, hand size, hip size and the waist size. But now I will talk about measuring as assessing width as my measuring unit. So basically the top constituent part of the tape measure are the inches and the bottom are the cm's. So to find the width would mean that every 10 cm is the width but when go on to a quarter of width it will basically mean that the answer would be 1w and a quarter.
