draw the line using a ruler on which you have identified points 2 7/16 inches apart
Step-by-step explanation:
On your ruler graduated in inches with marks at 1/16-inch intervals, locate the 0 mark and the mark 1/16 inch before the half-inch mark between 2 and 3 inches.
Draw your line along the edge of the ruler between the two marks you have identified: 0 and 2 7/16. The line will be 2 7/16 inches long.
