Reading a Ruler worksheet for practicing measurement skills.

Let's solve the problem step by step using the ruler diagram provided in the worksheet.

---

Objective:

Measure each labeled point (A through L) on the ruler to the nearest 1/16 of an inch, and express each answer in lowest terms.

---

Understanding the Ruler:

The ruler is marked in inches, with each inch divided into 16 equal parts (sixteenths). This means:

- Each small tick represents 1/16 inch.
- The longer ticks are at every 1/8 inch (2/16), 1/4 inch (4/16), 3/8 inch (6/16), etc.
- Whole numbers represent full inches.

We'll read each letter's position from the left end of the ruler (0 inches).

Step-by-Step Measurements:

Let’s go through each letter one by one. We’ll estimate where each letter falls and write it as a fraction in lowest terms.

#### A:
- Located just after the 0-inch mark.
- It's at the 1/16 mark.
- Answer: 1/16

#### B:
- Just past A, at the 2/16 mark.
- Simplify: 2/16 = 1/8

#### C:
- At the 3/16 mark.
- Already in lowest terms.
- Answer: 3/16

#### D:
- At the 4/16 mark → 4/16 = 1/4

#### E:
- At the 5/16 mark.
- Answer: 5/16

#### F:
- At the 6/16 mark → 6/16 = 3/8

#### G:
- At the 7/16 mark.
- Answer: 7/16

#### H:
- At the 8/16 mark → 8/16 = 1/2

#### I:
- At the 9/16 mark.
- Answer: 9/16

#### J:
- At the 10/16 mark → 10/16 = 5/8

#### K:
- At the 11/16 mark.
- Answer: 11/16

#### L:
- At the 12/16 mark → 12/16 = 3/4

✔ Final Answers:

| Letter | Measurement |
|--------|-------------|
| A | 1/16 |
| B | 1/8 |
| C | 3/16 |
| D | 1/4 |
| E | 5/16 |
| F | 3/8 |
| G | 7/16 |
| H | 1/2 |
| I | 9/16 |
| J | 5/8 |
| K | 11/16 |
| L | 3/4 |

🔍 Notes:

- All fractions are simplified to lowest terms.
- The ruler shows up to 7 inches, but all letters fall within the first inch.
- You can verify by counting the small tick marks from 0.
