Practice worksheet for learning ruler fractions with a hand, ruler, and pen.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We’re looking at a ruler and trying to read the measurement shown. The ruler has inches marked, and between each inch, there are smaller lines that represent fractions of an inch — specifically, sixteenths (since we see “16” on the ruler near the 4-inch mark).

The arrow or pen tip is pointing just past the 4-inch mark. Let’s count how many small lines past 4 it is.

On a standard ruler divided into 16ths:
- Each small line = 1/16 of an inch.
- After 4 inches, the first line is 4 1/16, second is 4 2/16, third is 4 3/16, etc.

Looking closely at where the pen tip lands — it’s exactly on the third small line after the 4-inch mark.

So that’s:
4 + 3/16 = 4 3/16 inches

Wait — let me double-check. Sometimes rulers have longer lines for 1/8, 1/4, 1/2. But in this case, since the worksheet says “Ruler Fractions” and shows 5 1/2 as an example, and the ruler clearly marks 16 divisions per inch (you can see “16” next to the 4), we’re safe using 16ths.

Also, the hand is holding up a paper with handwritten notes — one says “3/16”, which matches our reading. That’s probably a hint or note from the student.

So yes — the measurement is 4 3/16 inches.

Final Answer:
4 3/16
