Measuring Tools

a tape measure

You would use a scale for measuring weight.

You would use a scale for this.

8.9 on a measuring tape represents a measurement that is 8.9 units from the starting point, typically in inches or centimeters, depending on the tape's scale. It indicates a position slightly less than 9 units, specifically 9 units minus 0.1 units. On an imperial measuring tape, this would be just shy of the 9-inch mark, while on a metric tape, it would be 89 centimeters.

It depends on the temperature range the thermometer was designed to measure

The same as anyone else. Use it to find out the atmospheric pressure

It depends. If it is a metric ruler then they are most likely to be millimetres. On an Imperial ruler the smallest may be sixteenths of an inch.

9 and 7/8 is closest.

If your tape measure has 32nds on it it means that each small line between 0 and 1 is 1/32 of an inch. As some of these fractions can be further reduced you will end up with some more familiar measurements. If you are starting from 0 each small line going upward would mean the following: 0, 1/32, 2/32=1/16, 3/32, 4/32=1/8, 5/32, 6/32=3/16, 7/32, 8/32=1/4, 9/32, 10/32=5/16, 11/32, 12/32=3/8, 13/32, 14/32=7/16, 15/32, 16/32=1/2, 17/32, 18/32=9/16, 19/32, 20/32=5/8, 21/32, 22/32=11/16, 23/32, 24/32=3/4, 25/32, 26/32=13/16, 27/32, 28/32=7/8, 29/32, 30/32=15/16, 31/32, 32/32=1 .

A 1/32 tape measure can be simple to read if you know how. There will be 32 lines on each inch because 32/32 equals 1'. Let's break this down easily by counting the lines and converting. 4/32 is 1/8th of an inch while 8/32 is equal to 1/4'. 16/32 equals 1/2 inch and 24/32 is 3/4'. That's how you read one. Simply divide the smaller number by the larger number to get the decimal equivalent and convert to fraction form .

You would possibly use a chronometer which is an extrememely accurate clock.

You can use a measuring tape, a ruler, or a yardstick to measure your height.

This depends on what you are measuring. A tool that can be used is a tape measure.

That depends whether you want to know the phone's length or it's weight.

A calliper is any tool with a claw-like shape/movement, like a calliper micrometer, which is used to measure the size of small parts with high accuracy, or the calliper brakes on a bicycle or a car with disc brakes.

There are a lot of instruments used to measure water volume. There's also the displacement method to measure liquids.

You could use either, it's just a little more work with the 30 cm ruler, but the result will be the same.

Ones normally use for measuring grill and oven temperatures.

A long tape measure is best to measure length of a building. They commonly come in 30, 33, 40, 50, 100 and 300 feet.

A ruler.

The size is small, so definitely measured in INCHES.

A ruler usually measures 1 foot, but can also be 2, 3, 4 or 6 feet. I have all of those . A yardstick only measures exactly 3 feet. A Tape measure comes in many lengths from 3 to 500 feet. I have 8 tapes, all of different lengths.

A unit of volume such as a litre.
