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"
