It is 3/10 of an inch before 2 inches on the ruler
On a standard ruler, 1.18 inches would fall between the 1 inch mark and the 2 inch mark. Each inch on a ruler is divided into 16 equal parts, known as sixteenths. So, 1.18 inches would be located 3/16 of an inch past the 1 inch mark. It can also be expressed as 1 inch + 3/16 inch.
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.
Three and two thirds divided by one third = 11/1 or 11
1/3 of 11 is 3 2/3.
