Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a measuring device that is adapted for providing conversions from fractions of an inch to decimals of an inch and vice versa. The measuring device includes a ruler having a first edge opposite a second edge. The first edge includes markings for indicating units of measurement in decimals, while the second edge includes markings for indicating units of measurement in fractions. The markings in decimals directly align with corresponding markings in fractions so that the user can determine fraction-decimal equivalents by locating the alignments of the markings. Furthermore, the present invention may be a traditional ruler, a retractable tape measure, a measuring tape, a right angle ruler, or a yard stick, depending upon embodiment.
