Thanks for watching! 😃
Thanks for the advice. I’m a plumbing apprentice and I’m slow when it comes to adding/subtracting fractions. This will definitely make me a better apprentice.
Jeez. I'm this old and someone finally explained it. Thank You. No, I'm not embarrassed. Nobody ever explained and I never asked.
Be embarrassed u we’re proud enough to not ask
I have remodeled many of my own homes and this is the FIRST time anyone has explained the marks on the tape measure. I've always known the quarter, half etc but never the little lines. The math tricks with the tape measure was cool. Thank you
Thanks for checking it out!

You're a hero! Lots of folks out there, including myself, never really knew how to fully read a tape measure. You fixed that!
i know how to read a tape measurer fully mostly because i measure myself quite often
Great share! It's the type of stuff a lot of people want to know but won't ask! Thank you👍👏
Thanks K!
Spot on. Been working with tape measures for just under 2 years (29yo male, served in the US Marine Corps infantry, built many things, etc etc etc but never needed a tape measure for more than a few short minutes) and I never ACTUALLY 100% knew how to read the fraction lines.
Instead of saying "its sticking out 5/16"... I'd say "its sticking out a fat 1/4" lmao
I found this video because I was looking for a tape measure that had the fractions printed on the tape. Saw this and felt like a dumbass
Super Hatsoff! Love you bro! You made me the best with measuring tape !
Brilliant way of teaching maths
awesome man thank you for sharing.
Very helpful man thank you
Great video man. You helped me a ton
Smallest line = 16ths
Next line = 8th
Next = Quarters.
Tallest = half.
Just count, so counting 5 lines lands you on a small one, 5/16th.
Counting 4 lines land you on the 3rd tallest line, so 4 16ths, or, 1/4.
Counting 9 lines are going to be 9/16ths, 10 lines will be 10/16ths or 5/8th.
Great technique, Jim! Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks I’m in pre apprenticeship for carpentry and I struggle a bit when it comes to math and the tape

Wow!!!! Thats ALOT of 8ths and 16ths!!!
1) how the hell do they not teach this in US schools. Lol. We know how to use a ruler in grade 1 in Canada.
2)this is why the rest of the world uses metric. Much easier to use
A melhor maneira de aprender a ler uma fita métrica é ouvir um nativo da língua inglesa, thank you. Greetings from Brazil

Thank you. I’m an apprentice and either never learned this or just forgot over the years.
Very happy to hear the video helped! Thanks for watching!
This is my sleeping video. Thanks man :)
I use a 35, better for doing layout.
Do you know what the diamonds are? Do you know how use a tape as a date computer?
But someone that doesn't know that u reduce the number down to the lowest common denominator divided by 2. Isn't going to understand how u came up with your Conclusion.
@ 57 seconds you say "consider this to be two eighths". S/b "two sixteenths".
Use the METRIC system !!!
Problem solved.
The 14+10 inches “but you dont wanna count” term is a little too much...
ranboo?
I got a headache watching this 😩
