15. Reading Measuring Tools
and Using Scales
Fractional Rule
• Major divisions:
– Feet
– Inches
– Fractions:
– 1/2 = 2 per inch
– 1/4 = 4 per inch
– 1/8 = 8 per inch
– 1/16 = 16 per inch (usually the smallest
division needed)
Fractional Rule (Cont.)
inch mark
(6")
½" mark

16. (8½")
¼" mark
(11¼")
⅛" mark
(7⅞")
1/16" mark
(101/16")
foot mark
(12" or 1')
• Take 5 minutes to complete the measurements in
Activity 3-1 in the textbook.
