I do it the super dummy way, forget what each tick mark means. In this example you know you need to add 3/4, count all the tick marks 0 to the 3/4" mark. Since each tick on this scale represents 1/16" you end up with 12 ticks or 12/16". Now go to your 7/16" tick mark and count up 12 ticks. Not as fast but no other tools needed. Once you memorize how many 1/16" are in each fraction it becomes pretty quick.
I would just take the 3 7/16 round up to 3 1/2 add 3/4 for 4 1/4 then less the extra 1/16 for 4 3/16. Frankly if you want to be successful in the trades you should be able to do this level of math in your head
This is why I hate math problem when dealing with tape measures because I'm an ace at measuring things with a tape measure in real life, making cuts or reading blue prints . It sucks I have to take an assessment test on math I don't get when I can do it in real life in a practical way. Lord help me on my assessment test.
@@gonova8412 same its very good to know math but for me its just its very confusing using imperial. Ive been using metric to do some quick math and just convert it back into imperial...but I wont be able to do that on jobsites...thats my only worry about me going to go try to become electrician. Because for conduit bending its ALOT of math also shrink and the multipliers needed. Plus to get in the union you need to do a test just on math...simple math I can fly easily but start throwing fractions...I get lost
Like always great videos. I want to thank you for taking the time to put this up. I have a question how is it that you got 12/16? Thank you for your time.
Wow 2 tapes or a ruler lol well ok just mark 3and 7.16 on ur board move tape to 4 on spot u just marked and mark 3.4 moor and measure overall come on people

Still clueless. Thanks
Lmao
Thanks for the tip! Wish my dad could have taught me this way, would have saved us both frustration! I actually understood both ways. Cheers!
this video helped me solve the two fraction questions at my local trades and skill center lol

Impressive 😆
Using this video as a brush up before I take an assessment at a job! Very helpful 👍🏻

Howd that assessment test go? Im in carpentry school right now
It’s good to know math but in real life u could just count it out on the tape or Mark both numbers and measure the sum super quick

Thanks alot i really need this in woodworking
Very practical. Thanks.
Great video you kinda sound like the joker😂
Yooooo thank you!!!!!
Excellent lesson!
Thanks!
Put a fraction calculator on your phone.... easy peasy
Helps alot. thank you
+diabeticon87 You bet. Thanks for watching!
Like always great videos. I want to thank you for taking the time to put this up. I have a question how is it that you got 12/16? Thank you for your time.
salem pal I think 3/4 of an inch on a ruler equals to 12/16,
An easier method - use metric
Mkayy?!
Still a bit confused confused but I'll come back to this video. Doing a carpentry course today to July. :)
You should be a professional teacher.
dont try this in the field you will be shamed
Y did you change the 3 to a 12 wtf
This dude is dumb
One word, Metric
Wow 2 tapes or a ruler lol well ok just mark 3and 7.16 on ur board move tape to 4 on spot u just marked and mark 3.4 moor and measure overall come on people
how to do "math" for people who dont know how to do math lol
Measure is oz or ft not fractions you are teaching fractions okay
