What does 0.8 look like on a ruler?
On a standard ruler, 0.8 would be located 8/10 of the way between the 0 and 1 marks. This would be 8 millimeters or centimeters, depending on the scale of the ruler. Visually, it would be closer to the 1 mark than the 0 mark, but not all the way there.
What can you use as an ruler for cm?

Depends how long the ruler is obviously. But if you are talking about a meter stick (very close in size to a yard-stick) then it is 100 cm.
Is an outside caliper more precise than a ruler?
It depends how accurately you can read the scale. A ruler would only be accurate to 1 mm. If the caliper has a vernier scale it should be ten times better
How much is a line on a ruler?

If in centimeters, it indicates 1 centimeter and 0.62 of a centimeter, which is about 6.2 millimeters. Always check the units on the ruler to confirm the measurement.
Is millimeters shown on rulers?

How do you draw a route to scale?
To draw a route to scale, you need to establish a scale that represents the actual distance on the map. For example, 1 inch on the map may represent 1 mile in real life. Then, measure the actual distance of the route you want to draw and use the scale to translate that distance onto your map accurately. You can use a ruler or distance measuring tools to ensure precision.
What mesures a centimeter or less?
A metre scale measures upto one millimetre.In order to measure lengths less than one millimeter a vernier callipers or screw gauge is used.
What is the part of the map that show the distance between the places?
The scale of the map. It is expressed as a ratio (e.g. 1:10,000) and usually gives the actual distance represented by a centimeter or an inch on the map (e.g. 1 inch = 50 miles). There may be a bar scale that can be used as a measurement reference, especially if no ruler is available to measure.
