Here we will explain and testify you where 3 three/viii inches is on a ruler. More than specifically, nosotros will give you stride-by-footstep instructions on how to discover, and and so illustrate, where iii 3/8 is located on a ruler.

The ruler is divided upwards into whole inches: 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches, and and so on. First, nosotros will determine betwixt which two whole inches 3 3/eight fits. 3 three/8 as a decimal is 3.375, which is greater than 3 and less than 4. Therefore, iii iii/8 is located between iii inches and 4 inches on the ruler.

If you look closely at a ruler, y'all volition see that there are 15 marks between each inch, dividing each inch into 16 equal parts. Below are the lengths to each mark from whatever whole inch:

Marking ane: 0.0625
Mark ii: 0.125
Marking 3: 0.1875
Mark four: 0.25
Marker five: 0.3125
Mark 6: 0.375
Mark 7: 0.4375
Mark 8: 0.5

Mark 9: 0.5625
Mark x: 0.625
Marking xi: 0.6875
Mark 12: 0.75
Mark thirteen: 0.8125
Mark 14: 0.875
Marker 15: 0.9375

Looking at the table to a higher place, we can locate where the decimal part of 3.375 fits. The decimal function of 3.375 fits exactly on Marking 6.

Now we accept all the information we need to show you where on our ruler 3 3/eight is located. iii 3/8 is located between 3 inches and 4 inches on Marker 6. Our analogy below shows 3 3/8 inches marked with a scarlet pivot.
