What does .79 of an inch look like on a us ruler?

Answer 1

3/4 "

Answer 2

Well, honey, .79 of an inch on a US ruler is gonna be just shy of a full inch. It's gonna look like a tiny bit less than 4/5 of an inch, so grab your magnifying glass if you wanna see that minuscule measurement up close. Just remember, in the grand scheme of things, that .79 of an inch ain't gonna make or break your DIY project.

Answer 3

On a standard US ruler, each inch is divided into 16 equal parts, making each part 1/16 of an inch. Therefore, .79 of an inch would be approximately 3/4 of the way between the 3/4 inch mark and the 13/16 inch mark on the ruler. It would be slightly closer to the 13/16 inch mark than the 3/4 inch mark.

Answer 4

You will not be able to see 0.79 of an inch on a US ruler. The best you can hope for is 0.8 inches. On a ruler, an inch is usually divided into 10 or 16 parts - the smaller, unnumbered marks between the inch marks. You can get 32 divisions on tape measures but they are unusual on rulers.

Select a part of the ruler in which each inch is divided into 10 parts. Eight of them will make 0.8 inch. You will not be bale to tell the difference between 0.8 inch and 0.79 inches by eye!
