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.

Well honey, a fifth on a ruler is typically found at the 2-inch mark. You see, a ruler is divided into 16 equal parts, so when you're talking about a fifth, you're looking at 1/5 of those 16 parts, which is 3.2 inches. So, grab your ruler and get measuring!

Ah, 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.

The answer depends on 1 fifth of what? One fifth of an inch will be quite different from a fifth of a metre!
