Now if you go back to the zero end of the scale the fractional feet to be measured will be represented by the distance of the start point of the object being measured to the zero point on the scale. Then slide the ruler so that the number you noted mentally lines up with the end of the item being measured. This number represents the whole feet of the item you are measuring.
