How To Read A Tape Measure and figure fractions, You'll be a pro.

How To Read A Tape Measure and/or How to read a measuring tape. What do all those little lines mean anyway? A closeup look at the markings of a standard U.S. tape measure. Inch lines, 1/2" 1/4" 1/8" and 1/16" lines are explained.
You'll see the gaff with a note at about 4:38-ish. I misspoke and switched a 1/8 with a 1/16th.
Also an answer to that burning question: "why is the hook on the end of my tape measure loose?" by the end of the video you will have learned how to read a tape measure in inches and feet.
