On a standard ruler, 1 fifth would be located at the 0.2 mark. This is because a whole number line on a ruler is divided into 10 equal parts, each representing a tenth. Therefore, 1 fifth, which is equivalent to 0.2 in decimal form, would be located between the 0.1 and 0.3 marks on the ruler.

BeauAh, a fifth on a ruler is a wonderful thing to find! Just imagine your ruler divided into five equal parts. The first of those parts is your one-fifth mark. It's a special spot that can help you measure things with ease and precision. Just remember, there's no mistakes, only happy little measurements!
Look at the markings between zero inches and one inch. There should be a larger mark right in the middle between the two. That's 1/2 (one half) inch. Right in the middle between 0 and 1/2 is a smaller mark - that's the 1/4 (one quarter) inch mark. On the other hand, the mark halfway between 1/2 and 1 inch is the 3/4 (three quarter) inch mark. In other words, the distance from zero to one inch can be divided into four equal steps with three marks in between; those are, respectively, 1/4 inch, 2/4 inch (= 1/2 inch), and 3/4 inch. 4/4 inch is equal to 1 inch.

Where are Decimeters on a ruler?
There are no kilometer rulers. -- If your ruler is 1 foot long, then you have to lay down 3,281 of them end-to-end to reach 1 kilometer. -- If your ruler is 1 yard long, then you have to lay down 1,094 of them end-to-end to reach 1 kilometer. -- If your ruler is 1 meter long, then you have to lay down 1,000 of them end-to-end to reach 1 kilometer.
What is a standard length of a ruler in cm?
A metric ruler is not a fixed length. A school ruler is normally 12 inches and this would be 30 cm, but I have a workshop ruler that is 60 cm, and you can buy longer ones. The thing to remember is that 1 inch = 2.54 cm
What does 5.5Cm look like on a ruler?

What is 1.44 inches on a ruler?
On a standard ruler, 1.44 inches would fall between the 1 3/8 inch mark and the 1 1/2 inch mark. Each inch on a ruler is divided into 16 equal parts, so 1.44 inches would be closer to 1 7/16 inches. To locate this measurement precisely, you would need to count 9 of the 1/16 inch markings from the 1 3/8 inch mark.
