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.

Depends on how big the ruler is. Sizes vary
1- a meter stick is like a giant ruler (it measures i meter)
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.

Most rulers are either 30 centimeters or 1 meter long. A standard meter ruler has 100 centimeters, not 36.
Yes, but not very accurately.
Why? Because A ruler of 30 cm is not enough for a bigger class! you need a meter ruler and multiply each ok.

You would use a ruler or a measuring tape to measure a 10 cm length of dialysis tubing. Make sure to lay the tubing flat on a surface and use the ruler to measure accurately from one end to the other.
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.
