The inch, the foot and the yard come from the Franks and were standardized by Charlemagne (c. 800). However, the English foot (and therefore the other measures) are very slightly different in length from those of c. 800.

How do you read a tape measure in 100ths of a foot?

Unless you happen to come across a measure that gives 1/12 of an inch, te answer is that you cannot. Tape measures do measure in 1/8, 1/10 and 1/16 inches but I do not recall seeing any that measure in 1/12 inch.You could, of course, measure 12 identical items to a accuracy of an inch and divide the total length (expressed in feet) by 100.Unless you happen to come across a measure that gives 1/12 of an inch, te answer is that you cannot.

What is 5.1 inches on a tape measure?

On a standard tape measure, 5.1 inches would be represented by the fifth line after the 1-inch mark. Each inch is divided into 16 equal parts, so the 5.1 inch mark would fall between the 5-inch mark and the 6-inch mark. It is important to note that some tape measures may have additional markings for greater precision, such as 1/8 or 1/16 inch increments.
