Metric Rulers
Metric rulers are fairly easy to read. They deal with centimeters and millimeters only. You wont have to worry much about fractions.

Take a look at the following Metric Ruler.
The larger lines with numbers are centimeters, and the smallest lines are millimeters. Since millimeters are 1/10th of a centimeter,if you measure 7 marks after a centimeter, it is 1.7 centimeters long. Bookends 12 7 4 download free.
English Rulers
English rulers, are much more difficult to read. Mostly because they deal with fractions, which are a bit more dificult to learn.
English rulers, are much more difficult to read. Mostly because they deal with fractions, which are a bit more dificult to learn.
Take a look at the following English Rulers.
A ruler marked in 8ths. Every mark is 1/8th of an inch.
A ruler marked in 16ths. Every mark is 1/16th of an inch.
The center mark between numbers is 1/2. The red lines on these rulers are marked at 1/2, and 1. |
The next smallest marks on a ruler are 1/4ths. The red marks on these rulers are at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1. (1/2 is the same as 2/4) |
The next smallest marks on a ruler are 1/8ths. The red marks on these rulers are at 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, and 1. |
The next smallest mark, if there are any, are 1/16ths. The red marks on this ruler are at 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, and 1. |
When marking down a distance from a ruler, mark the whole inch, followed by a space, then the fraction of an inch.
For example, 1 1/2, or 2 3/8.
When entering fractions into the conversion calculators, you have to separate the whole number and the fraction with a + sign.
For example, 1+1/2, or 2+3/8.

When you think of earthquakes, you might think of California or the West Coast.
But on Thursday, a 3.8-magnitude earthquake struck the Florida panhandle and parts of Alabama, leading to reports of shaking across both states.
What You Need To Know
- A rare 3.8-magnitude earthquake struck the border of Alabama and Florida on Thursday
- This took place in one of the least earthquake-prone parts of the country
- It was likely the largest earthquake to directly strike the region since 1997
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that a 3.8-magnitude earthquake took place near Pollard, Alabama on Thursday.
Shaking was only reported in a few instances right around the immediate vicinity of the earthquake’s epicenter. There were no immediate reports of damag
This earthquake took place in one of the least earthquake-prone parts of the country. There are no nearby tectonic plate boundaries, making Florida and Alabama among the least earthquake-prone locations in the United States.
That said, the Bahamas Fracture Seismic Zone goes through the western fringe of Florida and can produce generally smaller earthquakes in southern Alabama and the Florida panhandle, like Thursday’s.

Residual effects from larger earthquakes elsewhere can also lead to tremors in the Sunshine State. South Florida felt the impacts of a magnitude 7.7 earthquake near Jamaica in January.

Also, a 6.0-magnitude quake struck the central Gulf of Mexico in 2006, and that was felt across parts of Florida.
The last time a notable earthquake directly struck the Florida/Alabama border region was in 1997, when a 4.8-magnitude quake shook almost the same area as Thursday’s.
In 1781, that fault produced a 6.0-magnitude quake in southern Alabama, the largest earthquake to strike the affected region.
While earthquakes are rare in Florida and Alabama, they’re not entirely unheard of, as Thursday showed.
