The first thing you need to know before measuring a tape is the units in which it is measured. Tape usually has 2 measurements such as English or metric. Also, a little knowledge of mathematics helps in reading tape measure. You need to know ½ is the same as 4/8, 8/16, and 16/32. Once you know that 16/32 is the same as ½, you can look for other measurements based on this information. For instance, you are looking for 15/32", you can find it at the first 32nd before the ½ mark.
