if your question is explain how to use a ruler to measure to the nearest inch the answer would be...you have to see what inch is the object your measuring to closest to

It depends on what object you are trying to measure. Displacement is appropriate for a medium sized, non-soluble object, of any shape. It would be pretty useless if you wanted to measure the volume of a concert hall or a needle! And it would not work for a sugar cube either. A micrometre would be appropriate for small objects with simple geometry, such as a needle or possibly a sugar cube. But is would be no use for a concert hall nor an irregular object. A ruler would be appropriate for large objects with a simple geometry such as a concert hall. But it would be no use for a needle, nor for an irregular object.

To measure a foot length you could use a ruler, a yard stick, a tape measure, or any object that you knew was precisely one foot long on a side or edge.
When the object is larger than the ruler.

To determine the density of a regular object, you would first measure its mass using a scale. Next, measure the object's volume using a ruler or water displacement method. Finally, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the object.
You would use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the length of an object. Place the edge of the ruler or tape at one end of the object and note the measurement where the object ends. Make sure to read the measurement carefully to get an accurate length.

You could use a ruler or a measuring tape to measure the length of an object. Both tools have markings that allow you to accurately determine the distance from one point to another.
I'll say a ruler . . . you can do that job with only one of them.
Depends on what information you do have. But I would suggest you measure it using a ruler, tape measure or similar.
You would use a balance to measure the mass of an object and a ruler or calipers to measure its volume. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.

To find the density of an object, you would need a balance to measure its mass and a ruler to measure its volume. Once you have these measurements, you can use the formula density = mass/volume to calculate the density of the object.
A ruler is a straight measuring instrument with markings at intervals that is used to measure distances.
