Measuring and Fractions
	One Inch. The basic unit of measurement for dollhouses This is the inch symbol "
	One half inch (1/2") There are two halfs in one inch (1/2 + 1/2 = 1) Find the measurement that woould be 3 1/2" (three and one half inches)
	One quarter inch (1/4") There are four quarters in one inch (1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1") There are two quarters in one half inch (1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2) See 3 3/4"? (three and three quarters")... find 3 1/4"
	Eighths of an inch (1/8") There are eight of them between each inch mark. Notice that the 1/4" marks (2 eighths) and the 1/2" marks (4 eighths) are longer, but they are still counted when counting the spaces for eighths See 3 5/8"? (three and five eighths)... find 4 3/8"
	Sixteenths of an inch. There are sixteen of them between each mark 16/16 = one inch Again notice that you count all of the longer marks. Each step of the way, you count the marks for that fraction and the longer marks, but not the shorter marks Where is 3 15/16? [hint: 3 16/16 = 4", so 3 15/16 is 1/16 less than 4]
	Thirtyseconds of an inch - now that's small, but some rulers show them Each 1/16" mark stands for two 1/32" so 7/32 is the same as three and one half 1/16" spaces (2 + 2 + 2 + 1) A measurement of 19/32 would be the same as nine and one half 1/16" spaces which is the same as 1/2" + 1/16" + half of 1/16"... can you find it?
