When measuring with a ruler, you typically start at the 0 mark. The 0 mark on a ruler represents the starting point of measurement, and each subsequent mark represents a unit of measurement (such as inches or centimeters). Starting at the 0 mark ensures accurate and consistent measurements.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! When measuring, you usually start at 0 on the ruler. That's where all the magic begins, helping you create beautiful and precise measurements for your artwork or any project you're working on.

Well, hello there! To find 1.9 inches on a ruler, you first locate the 1-inch mark, then count nine-tenths of an inch from there. Each inch on a ruler is divided into 16 equal parts, so you can count 9 of those parts from the 1-inch mark to reach 1.9 inches. Just take your time and enjoy the process of measuring - there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents!
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"
