If your tape measure has 32nds on it it means that each small line between 0 and 1 is 1/32 of an inch. As some of these fractions can be further reduced you will end up with some more familiar measurements. If you are starting from 0 each small line going upward would mean the following: 0, 1/32, 2/32=1/16, 3/32, 4/32=1/8, 5/32, 6/32=3/16, 7/32, 8/32=1/4, 9/32, 10/32=5/16, 11/32, 12/32=3/8, 13/32, 14/32=7/16, 15/32, 16/32=1/2, 17/32, 18/32=9/16, 19/32, 20/32=5/8, 21/32, 22/32=11/16, 23/32, 24/32=3/4, 25/32, 26/32=13/16, 27/32, 28/32=7/8, 29/32, 30/32=15/16, 31/32, 32/32=1 .

A 1/32 tape measure can be simple to read if you know how. There will be 32 lines on each inch because 32/32 equals 1'. Let's break this down easily by counting the lines and converting. 4/32 is 1/8th of an inch while 8/32 is equal to 1/4'. 16/32 equals 1/2 inch and 24/32 is 3/4'. That's how you read one. Simply divide the smaller number by the larger number to get the decimal equivalent and convert to fraction form .
