What is 1.2 inches on a ruler?

unlike the unhelpful Betty, this is not a silly question. While some rulers are in segments of 10 (every inch having 10 lines within it), some rulers are in 16ths (every inch having 16 lines within it) or even 8ths on fabric tape rulers. So NO BETTY, you don't just count the lines. Please count the lines on your ruler's lines, then you can make a judgment as to whether to count the lines or actually doing the math (1.2 inch = 1 and 2/16ths of an inch = the 3rd line)
