Accurate measurements are essential for various tasks, and using a ruler is the simplest way to achieve precision. Start by selecting the right type of ruler—whether fractional, decimal, or metric. Position the ruler's end exactly at the edge of the object to eliminate errors. Make sure to lay the ruler straight and snug against the surface to avoid slack. Once positioned correctly, check the whole number unit at the edge of your object. Finally, mark or record your measurement for future reference. Follow these steps for perfect results every time!
