Question: how much is 1/4 inch on a ruler?
Answer: If you counted in 1/4 inches on a ruler, you'd see that the fourth line after 0 inches equals 1/4 inch, the eighth line equals 2/4 (1/2) inch, and the 12th line equals 3/4 inch. Example: Say you're measuring a piece of cloth and the ruler ends at the fourth line after the 10-inch mark.
