To find 1.125 inches on a ruler, first locate the 1-inch mark. From there, move an additional 0.125 inches, which is equivalent to 1/8 of an inch. This will place you at the first small mark after the 1-inch mark, which is typically the third mark on the ruler after the 1-inch line. Therefore, 1.125 inches is just past the 1-inch mark, at the first eighth mark.
Five eighths of an inch on a ruler would be located between the half-inch mark and the three-quarter inch mark.
On a ruler, .375 inches is equivalent to 3/8 of an inch. It is located between the 1/4 inch mark (0.25 inches) and the 1/2 inch mark (0.5 inches). Specifically, it is three tick marks past the 1/4 inch mark. If using a standard ruler, you'll find it slightly closer to the 1/2 inch mark than to the 1/4 inch mark.
On a standard ruler, 7.9 inches would fall between the 7-inch mark and the 8-inch mark. Each inch on a ruler is divided into 16 equal parts, so 0.9 inches would be just slightly before the 1-inch mark after the 7-inch mark. To locate 7.9 inches precisely, you would count 7 full inches and then estimate just under a tenth of an inch beyond the 7-inch mark.
On a standard ruler, 1.708 inches would fall between the 1 11/16 inch mark and the 1 3/4 inch mark. To locate 1.708 inches precisely, you would need to estimate between these two marks based on the incremental markings on the ruler. It would be closer to the 1 11/16 inch mark but not quite reaching the 1 3/4 inch mark.
