Read a vernier caliper in INCHES
The vernier scale is a technological device that increases the sensitivity of a scale to subdivide the lower division of it. In this simulator the vernier scale (rectangle below the scale) has eight spaces between the vertical lines. It divides by eight the 1/16in, which is the smallest division of the main scale (1/16in / 8 = 1/128in). The main scale is graduated in fractional inch (this means that inch (1in) is divided in half ( 1/2in ), each division is further divided in half ( 1/4in ) and so forth ( 1/8in , 1/16i n , 1/32in …) as far as the vision acuity allow. If you want to learn this fractional inches Vernier, just watch 16 minutes detailed video. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf7VO7-tic9iuXmBcwA_wuQ For Metric system, please see below video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBbF7cuSBuA
