Unless you happen to come across a measure that gives 1/12 of an inch, te answer is that you cannot. Tape measures do measure in 1/8, 1/10 and 1/16 inches but I do not recall seeing any that measure in 1/12 inch.

You could, of course, measure 12 identical items to a accuracy of an inch and divide the total length (expressed in feet) by 100.
