Generally speaking, the limit of accuracy of any measuring device is 1/2 of the smallest marked increment. So, on a typical meter stick, you would have millimeter hash-marks, so the limit is 1/2 of a millimeter.
However, one must be careful with this statement because how a measuring device is constructed, to what tolerances, and how it is used would affect the measurement.
For example, if the temperature changes, the meter stick would change, and thus affect the measurement. If the end is worn, if there is human error, if one does not account for parallax, etc., then the error will be greater.

Is a metric ruler the same as a meter stick?
yes a metric ruler and a meter ruler is the same

How many rulers fit into a meter?
A standard ruler is typically 1 meter long, so one ruler fits into a meter. However, if you consider a standard 30-centimeter ruler, then three of those would fit into a meter. Thus, the number of rulers that fit into a meter depends on the length of the ruler being used.
What is a meter ruler use for?
to measure
How many cm in meter ruler?
Depends on how big the ruler is. Sizes vary
Least count in meter ruler?
The least count of a standard meter ruler is typically 1 millimeter. This means that the smallest distance that can be measured accurately on the ruler is 1 millimeter.
Is a metric ruler the same as a meter stick?
yes a metric ruler and a meter ruler is the same
How can one accurately measure a meter?
To accurately measure a meter, one can use a ruler, tape measure, or meter stick. Ensure the measuring tool is straight and aligned with the object being measured. Read the measurement at the point where the object ends. Make sure to account for any gaps or overlaps in the measurement tool.

Are there 36 meters on a ruler?
Most rulers are either 30 centimeters or 1 meter long. A standard meter ruler has 100 centimeters, not 36.
How to measure meter accurately in a scientific experiment?
To measure meter accurately in a scientific experiment, use a ruler or measuring tape with clear markings in millimeters. Ensure the object being measured is straight and aligned with the measuring tool. Take the measurement at eye level to avoid parallax error. Record the measurement to the nearest millimeter for precision.
Why the meter ruler is not suitable to measure the length of classroom?
Why? Because A ruler of 30 cm is not enough for a bigger class! you need a meter ruler and multiply each ok.

Can you find the diameter with a ruler?
Yes, but not very accurately.

What is the difference between a ruler and a meter stick?
a ruler is shoter than a meter stick ~ A typical ruler is 12 inches, however, there are many other measuring devices also called rulers. A meter stick is around 3 yards, I believe.
