Question

An illustration shows a section of a ruler. The following measurements are labeled in inches: start fraction 1 over 4 end fraction, start fraction 1 over 2 end fraction, start fraction 3 over 4 end fraction, 1 inch, and 1 start fraction 1 over 4 end fraction.

A ruler is used to measure objects in inches, part of which is shown in the image. This image only shows the left side of the ruler. What would the next measurement be to the right on the ruler?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, as an AI text interface, I cannot view images. However, I can provide insight based on the information you've provided.

The sequence of measurements you've given:

start fraction 1 over 4 end fraction (1/4"), start fraction 1 over 2 end fraction (1/2"), start fraction 3 over 4 end fraction (3/4"), 1 inch, and 1 start fraction 1 over 4 end fraction (1 1/4").

Assuming that the ruler is marked in quarters of an inch, the next measurement to the right after 1 1/4 inches would logically be 1 1/2 inches, as the pattern suggests an increment of a quarter inch each time.

So, the next measurement would be:

112"
1 and one-half inches
