The line segment which represents 2 7/16 inches should first be drawn with the use of a ruler.
<h3>What is a Ruler?</h3>
This is referred to an instrument which is used to measure distances between points or draw straight lines and also usually graduated in inches.
On the inches graduation, the zero mark should be located and the 1/16 inch which is found before the half-inch mark between 2 and 3 inches. When this is done, a line should be drawn to meet both points which will therefore measure 2 7/16 inches long.
