1 answer:
I believe there is a corresponding figure to help answer this problem. See attached photo.
From the figure, we can see that there are 8 tick marks in an inch. The number of tick marks covering one side is about 5.5 tick marks. Therefore:
length = 5.5 tick marks * (1 inch / 8 tick marks)
length = 0.69 inches
