An early definition of the inch was "3 barley corns laid end to end". You could say that it is the length of a barley corn.

ANS2:

One-third of one inch is equal to:

1 divided by 3 = 0.333 333 333 3 inch (or 0.846 666 666 58 centimeter).

To verify this, you can do a web search for a conversion calculator or a conversion table.

Or, if looking at a ruler: from the above conversion it is approx 8.5 millimeters, so between 8 and 9 mm. Or on the English side of the ruler: it is between 5/16 and 11/32 inch (closer to 11/32).
