Answer:

The eighth of an inch scale measures more precisely.

Step-by-step explanation:

An eighth of an inch means that one inch is divided into 8 equal lengths on the scale i.e. the minimum length that can be measured is \frac{1}{8} =0.125 inch.

Again a fourth of an inch means that one inch is divided into 4 equal lengths on the scale i.e. the minimum length that can be measured is \frac{1}{4} =0.25 inch.

Therefore, the eighth of an inch scale measures more precisely as it can measure more small measurements. (Answer)
