One quarter of an inch (0.25 in) is about the width of a #2 pencil (0.635 cm).
An eighth of an inch.
Well, honey, if the rule measures to the nearest 0.25 inches, then you better report the length using that precision. Don't go getting fancy and throwing in extra decimal places, keep it simple and stick to the quarter inches. Just round it up or down to the nearest 0.25 inches and call it a day.

The length of a quarter is 0.955 inches. When rounding to the nearest tenth of an inch, you look at the hundredths place, which is 5 in this case. Since the hundredths place is 5 or greater, you round up, resulting in a rounded length of 1.0 inch.
Report the length as x inches to the nearest quarter of an inch.
