Neither! The first dicital (binary) instrument was the abacus; which dates back to the Chineez Tao Te Ching, over two thousand years older than decimal math. Decimal math was proved, by the computer age, to be too in-exact, and unreliable; for the accuracy required by computers.

Where on a ruler is 1.125 inches?

To find 1.125 inches on a ruler, first locate the 1-inch mark. From there, move an additional 0.125 inches, which is equivalent to 1/8 of an inch. This will place you at the first small mark after the 1-inch mark, which is typically the third mark on the ruler after the 1-inch line. Therefore, 1.125 inches is just past the 1-inch mark, at the first eighth mark.
