To determine the next measurement to the right on the ruler, we need to consider the increments typically found on a ruler marked in inches. If we start at a given measurement, the next measurement to the right will usually be the next whole inch or the next fractional inch, depending on the current marking.
If the measurement is, for example, at 1 inch, the next measurement to the right would be 2 inches. If the current marking is at 1/12 of an inch (which is not standard but could be a smaller fraction), the next marking would typically increase incrementally by the smallest division marked.
Since the options provided include:
- 214"
- 1"
- 112"
- −14"
Without an exact placement on the ruler or a clear reading in the question, it's not possible to identify the exact next measurement without more context. However, based solely on common ruler markings, assuming a standard scale, if the current measurement is at 1 inch:
The next measurement to the right would be 2 inches, which is not in the options provided. In terms of the options provided, 1" could be the next measurement if it's right next to 0", but without more information, it's challenging to choose definitively.
Given the available options and if we assume we are at the beginning of the ruler, I would choose **1"** as the next measurement on a standard ruler.
