0.9 Inches On A Ruler

Here we will explain and bear witness yous where 0.ix inches is on a ruler. More specifically, nosotros will give you step-past-step instructions on how to find, and then illustrate, where 0.9 is located on a ruler.

The ruler is divided up into whole inches: 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches, and so on. Commencement, we will determine between which two whole inches 0.9 fits. 0.9 is greater than 0 and less than 1. Therefore, 0.nine is located between 0 inches and 1 inch on the ruler.

If you wait closely at a ruler, you will see that there are xv marks between each inch, dividing each inch into sixteen equal parts. Below are the lengths to each mark from any whole inch:

Mark ane: 0.0625
Mark two: 0.125
Marker 3: 0.1875
Marker four: 0.25
Marking 5: 0.3125
Marker 6: 0.375
Mark 7: 0.4375
Marking 8: 0.five

Marking ix: 0.5625
Mark 10: 0.625
Mark 11: 0.6875
Marker 12: 0.75
Mark xiii: 0.8125
Mark xiv: 0.875
Mark 15: 0.9375

Looking at the table above, nosotros tin can locate where the decimal part of 0.9 fits. The decimal office of 0.ix is more than 0.875 and less than 0.9375. Therefore, 0.9 fits betwixt Mark fourteen and Marker 15.

Now the hardest office, which is to find where between Mark 14 and Marking 15 that 0.ix is located. We first by calculating the altitude between 0.875 and 0.9 like this: 0.9 - 0.875 = 0.025.

There are 0.0625 inches between each marking, and nosotros can calculate what percent 0.025 is of 0.0625 like this: (0.025 × 100) ÷ 0.0625 = 40%

This means that 0.ix is forty% of the distance between Mark 14 and Mark 15.

Now we have all the information nosotros need to show you where on our ruler 0.9 is located. 0.9 is located between 0 inches and 1 inch, and 40% of the distance betwixt Mark 14 and Marker 15. Our analogy below shows 0.9 inches marked with a red pin.
