How to Find 5/32 on a Ruler or Tape Measure

Here's how you find 5/32 on a tape measure or on a ruler.

First, look at your ruler or tape measure and focus on the segment from 0 to 1.

In the middle of that segment, you'll find the 1/2 mark.
If you cut that 1/2 in half, you'll find the 1/4 mark.
If you cut that 1/4 in half, you'll find the 1/8 mark.
If you cut that 1/8 in half, you'll find the 1/16 mark.
If you cut that 1/16 in half, you'll find the 1/32 mark.

Now, we need to find 5/32.

Look for the smallest lines between the inch marks. These are your 1/32 marks.
Starting from 0, count five of those 1/32 spaces.
By counting five of these 1/32 marks, you will reach 5/32.

So, what we're looking for is the fifth 1/32 mark on the ruler. This is 5/32 on your ruler or tape measure.
