Where Is 4/10 Inches On A Ruler?

4/10 inches on a ruler? Here we will explain and show you where 4/10 inches is on a ruler. More specifically, we will give you step-by-step instructions on how to find, and then illustrate, where 4/10 is located on a ruler. The ruler is divided up into whole inches: 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches, and so on. First, we will determine between which two whole inches 4/10 fits. 4 divided by 10 is 0.4, which is greater than 0 and less than 1. Therefore, 4/10 is located between 0 inches and 1 inch on the ruler. If you look closely at a ruler, you will see that there are 15 marks between each inch, dividing each inch into 16 equal parts. Below are the lengths to each mark from any whole inch: Mark 1: 0.0625 Mark 2: 0.125 Mark 3: 0.1875 Mark 4: 0.25 Mark 5: 0.3125 Mark 6: 0.375 Mark 7: 0.4375 Mark 8: 0.5 Mark 9: 0.5625 Mark 10: 0.625 Mark 11: 0.6875 Mark 12: 0.75 Mark 13: 0.8125 Mark 14: 0.875 Mark 15: 0.9375 Looking at the table above, we can locate where the decimal part of 0.4 fits. The decimal part of 0.4 is more than 0.375 and less than 0.4375. Therefore, 4/10 fits between Mark 6 and Mark 7. Now the hardest part, which is to find where between Mark 6 and Mark 7 that 4/10 is located. We start by calculating the distance between 0.375 and 0.4 like this: 0.4 - 0.375 = 0.025. There are 0.0625 inches between each mark, and we can calculate what percent 0.025 is of 0.0625 like this: (0.025 × 100) ÷ 0.0625 = 40% This means that 4/10 is 40% of the distance between between Mark 6 and Mark 7. Now we have all the information we need to show you where on our ruler 4/10 is located. 4/10 is located between 0 inches and 1 inch, and 40% of the distance between between Mark 6 and Mark 7. Our illustration below shows 4/10 inches marked with a red pin.
