It is a standard construction measurement. Most homes have studs at 16 inch intervals.
if each mark is 1/16 inch then 4 marks is 4/16 inch = 1/4 inch
The stud distance in houses.
Half of 15 on a tape measure is 7.5. This is typically marked as the halfway point between the 7 and 8-inch marks. It can also be represented as 7 inches and 1/2 inch.
To locate 2.9375 on a tape measure, first convert it to a fraction: 0.9375 is equivalent to 15/16. Therefore, 2.9375 inches is 2 inches plus 15/16 of an inch. On a tape measure, find the 2-inch mark and then count 15 small divisions to the right, which represent 1/16-inch increments, to reach the precise measurement of 2.9375 inches.
Because that is a common stud placing in frame buildings.

It depends on the measuring instrument (tape or ruler) being used. Some are marked in 1/8 inch, some in 1/10 inch, some in 1/16 inch and, rarely for such long rulers, 1/32 inch.
A millimeter, as almost every 12 inch ruler has centimeters and millimeters on the opposite side of where inches are marked.
Because that is a common stud placing in frame buildings.
On a standard tape measure, 5.1 inches would be represented by the fifth line after the 1-inch mark. Each inch is divided into 16 equal parts, so the 5.1 inch mark would fall between the 5-inch mark and the 6-inch mark. It is important to note that some tape measures may have additional markings for greater precision, such as 1/8 or 1/16 inch increments.
Well, .125 is 1/8 of an inch. If the tape measure is marked in sixteenths, 1/8 would be the 2nd line from the beginning of an inch. Then estimate or eyeball 1/4 of the way to the next line and that is rougly .15 on a tape measure. This is how I would figure this out. If someone knows a better way, please share.
Ah, a tape measure is a wonderful tool for creating beautiful things! If you see .65 on a tape measure, that means you are looking at 65 hundredths of an inch. Just a tiny fraction of an inch, but every little bit adds up to a masterpiece!
1.54 inches on a measuring tape is slightly more than one and a half inches. It falls between the 1.5-inch mark and the 1.6-inch mark. To visualize it, you can find the 1.5-inch mark and then count a little past it, which is slightly less than 1/16 of an inch from the 1.5-inch mark.
