Question

measurement marks are called graduations. the difference in height of the marks is meant to help you read the ruler. look for the unit labels on the ruler to verify you are measuring in inches or centimeters. each inch is divided into 16 sections. we use fractions to write a portion of an inch that is less than a whole inch. the denominator of an inch fraction will always be 16, 8, 4 or 2. inch fraction equivalents: 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8 = 8/16, 1/4 = 2/8 = 4/16, 1/8 = 2/16, 5/8 = 10/16, 3/4 = 6/8 = 12/16, 7/8 = 14/16. if the numerator is odd, the denominator will always be 16. these measurements are represented by the smallest graduation marks. 1/16 3/16 5/16 7/16 9/16 11/16 13/16 15/16. write the fraction value for each graduation mark on this enlarged one - inch ruler segment.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fraction - inch equivalence

Each inch is divided into 16 equal - parts. The fractions representing the graduation marks are based on these 16 sub - divisions.

Step2: Identify the fractions

Starting from 0, the fractions for the graduation marks on the one - inch ruler segment are $\frac{1}{16},\frac{2}{16}=\frac{1}{8},\frac{3}{16},\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4},\frac{5}{16},\frac{6}{16}=\frac{3}{8},\frac{7}{16},\frac{8}{16}=\frac{1}{2},\frac{9}{16},\frac{10}{16}=\frac{5}{8},\frac{11}{16},\frac{12}{16}=\frac{3}{4},\frac{13}{16},\frac{14}{16}=\frac{7}{8},\frac{15}{16},1$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{16},\frac{1}{8},\frac{3}{16},\frac{1}{4},\frac{5}{16},\frac{3}{8},\frac{7}{16},\frac{1}{2},\frac{9}{16},\frac{5}{8},\frac{11}{16},\frac{3}{4},\frac{13}{16},\frac{7}{8},\frac{15}{16},1$
