Question

on a ruler increasing by increments of 16ths of an inch, how would 1 measurement greater than 7/16 in be labeled? remember fo simplify

Answer 1

One mark greater than 7/16 is 8/16. So basically, your answer would be 1/2.

Answer 2

Often, rulers are not labeled. Rather, the marks change length according to the fraction they represent. One mark greater than 7/16 is 8/16. It will be the longest mark, halfway between the integer marks, so will represent 1/2.
