The measurement at point X to the nearest [tex](\frac{1}{16})''[/tex] from the beginning of the ruler is option (C) [tex]8(\frac{5}{8} )''[/tex].
What is a ruler?
A ruler is a device with measurement markings on it used for measuring drawing straight lines. Rulers have measurements in imperial and metric, imperial-only, or metric-only.
For the given situation,
The markings on a standard ruler represent the fractions of an inch. The smallest ticks on a ruler are the sixteenth-inch ticks.
The distance between a sixteenth-inch tick and the other larger ticks is [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex].
The very first line on the left hand side of the ruler is the [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] of an inch mark.
The point x is pointed at [tex]8[/tex] inches and at 10th division.
1st division = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
So, 10th division = [tex]\frac{10}{16} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the measurement at point X to the nearest [tex](\frac{1}{16})''[/tex] from the beginning of the ruler is option (C) [tex]8(\frac{5}{8} )''[/tex].
