13/16 is between 3/4 and 7/8
HOW THIS IS THREE-EIGHTHS
Look at a ruler and you'll find out.
eight and five eighths on a standard 12" ruler should be six lines after the 8 inch line (2 marks after the longer 1/2" line that's in the middle between 8 and 9 inches
Five eighths of an inch on a ruler would be located between the half-inch mark and the three-quarter inch mark.

It is between 1.3 and 1.4: nearer to 1.4. It is 1 3/8 if your ruler has markings in eighths.

It depends on your ruler and what units are on your ruler. To measure to the nearest inch just find the inch measurement and round up or down to get to the nearest inch in your measurement is between two whole numbers.

The difference between a measurement and an estimation is that a measurement is an exact data while an estimation is a guess as to what something may measure. For example, you can use a ruler to get the exact measurements of a piece of paper. However, if you don't have a ruler, you can make an educated guess as to what the paper's length and width measurements may be.
go to the 7 then count 6 of the little lines. 6/16ths Here is an alternate method that will work if your ruler happens not to mark 16ths. Make sure that you are using a ruler that measures inches and feet. A stick that measures in the metric system will not work well. 7 3/8 will be between the 7 inch and the 8 inch points. The "eighths" part means that you are looking for the marks that divide that inch into eight equal lengths. There will be 3 such marks or lines in between the 7 and the half inch mark which you should be able to find with no trouble. There are three more 'eighths' marks between the half inch mark and the 8. The "3" part means that you start at the 7 point on the ruler and count three of the marks that divide the inch into eighths. You will also see (or you are making an error of some kind) that if you count 4 eighths from the 7 point, you will be exactly at the half inch mark between the 7 and the 8. That only makes sense; 4 eighths is half of 8 eighths. And 8 eighths is one full unit-- in this case, one full inch.

What is the unit of measurement for a ruler and a angle ruler??????
ALL of the fractions on a ruler are between the zero end and the ' 1 ' mark. Since there are an infinite number of them, it's not possible to label all of them, so NONE of them are labeled. 'Three fourths of an inch' is located 3/4 of the distance from the zero end to the ' 1 ' mark. Some rulers have a mark there. Others don't. 'Three fourths of a foot' is the mark labeled ' 9 '.
