Explanation:

Step1: Identify start and end points

The green object starts at the 0 mark (implied, as it aligns with the ruler's start) and ends between 88 and 89 inches.

Step2: Count subdivisions after 88

The ruler has 16 subdivisions per inch. The end is at the 9th subdivision after 88. So the length is $88 + \frac{9}{16}$ inches.
