It depends on thumb size, but the adult distance from thumbnail to first thumb knuckle is about 1 inch; the thumb itself is 2-3 inches long
Thumb Paper clip
yes an inch is bigger than a centimeter!1 in = 2.54 cm
no 5/8 is 3/8 longer than 2/8 2/8 = 1/4
It is three quarters of the way from the 3 inch mark towards the 4 inch mark. Imperial rulers are normally marked in 16th of an inch with the 4th and 12th marks slightly longer and the 8th even longer. The 4th mark is ¼, the 8th mark is ½ and the 12th mark is ¾; 3.75 inches is 3¾ inches so on such a ruler it is the 12th mark to the right of the 3, and will be slightly longer than the 3 marks either side of it.
