What is the best way to designate point A on the ruler below?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 1/2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to give the measurement of point A that is marked on the ruler

We have this as;

As we can see, we have the whole number of inches before it as 2

Now, the small intervals between each of the whole numbers on the ruler is;

1/8

A is at the 4th point

So we have its measure added to 2 as:

2 + (4 * 1/8)

= 2 1/2 inches
