Learn the 1/16 of an inch marks. The small lines halfway between each 1/8 of an inch denote 1/16 of an inch. These are also the smallest lines on the ruler. The very first line on the left hand side of the ruler is the 1/16 of an inch mark.

– Two-sixteenths (2/16) is reduced to one-eighths (1/8) and is measured on the 1/8″ line. – Four-sixteenths (4/16) is reduced to one-fourth (1/4) and is measured on the 1/4″ line.

To get half of anything, you simply divide it by 2. Therefore, half of 1/16 is the same as 1/16 divided by 2, which means that this is the fraction math problem we are solving: 1. 16. ÷ 2.

In this case, there are 16 units of smaller quantity (1/16 inch) in one unit of the larger quantity. Multiply the larger-quantity amount by the number of smaller units per unit of the larger quantity. Multiplying 16 by 0.5 gives you 8, so 8/16 equals 0.5 inches.
