Different rulers may have different marks between the inches. There could be half

inches, quarter inches, eighths, tenths, sixteenths, or even thirty-seconds of an

inch.

There may be more than one of these sets on the same ruler, and also, quite often,

there are marks in the first inch or two that are not continued on the rest of the

ruler.

Where is 5.5 inches on a ruler?

Oh, dude, 5.5 inches on a ruler is like, right between the 5-inch mark and the 6-inch mark. It's like the ruler's way of saying, "Hey, I'm not quite 6 inches, but I'm more than 5 inches, so deal with it." So yeah, just look for the little tick mark right in the middle of those two numbers, and you'll find your 5.5 inches.

What is 1.35 inches on a ruler?

Whether on a ruler or anywhere else, it is still 1.35 inches. No ruler is graduated with at that level of detail. A tenth of an inch is typical. So you want a point halfway between 1.3 inches and 1.4 inches. Alternatively, you can draw a line of 1.35*2 = 2.7 inches (the ruler will measure that) and then bisect it.


Where on a ruler is 1.4 inches?

Since 0.4 is 4/10 (or 2/5) and the inches on a ruler are usually divided into eighths or sixteenths (or, more rarely, quarters), you're not going to find a precise line at 1.4". (The " stands for inches.) Depending on how finely your ruler is marked, 1.4" is: slightly less than halfway between 1 6/16" and 1 7/16" OR slightly more than 1 3/8" OR slightly more than halfway between 1 1/4" and 1 1/2"


What is 1.69 inches on a ruler look like?

You will not find an ordinary ruler which shows 1.69 inches. This would require each inch to be divided into 100 subdivisions which is not realistic for an ordinary ruler. Normal rulers give numbered lines for inches and either 10 or 16 unnumbered subdivisions of inches (there are other numbers of subdivisions but they are less common). If 10 divisions, then 1.69 inches is a tiny bit less than 1 inch and 7 of the ten divisions. If an inch has 16 divisions then 1 and 11 (of 16) subdivisions is 1.6875 - nearly 1.69 inches.
