Even if math was not your strongest subject in school, you may be comforted to learn reading a tape measure has little to do with mathematical calculations. Tape measures can be more hazardous to the operator than they may seem at first.
Do not let the tape roll back into place at full force, as you can badly cut your finger and damage the tape. Instead, reel it back slowly.
Marks on a tape measure are the straight lines that run perpendicular to the tape. Some marks are black and some are red. To read a tape measure, think about moving from long marks down to short marks. The longest mark indicates 1 inch. As the length of the marks progressively shortens, the measurements shorten, as well. The whole inch, or 1-inch, mark on a tape measure is the longest and easiest to see. Foot markers are the longest lines on the tape measure and sometimes extend the entire width of the tape.
Most tape measures tell you where each foot mark is located, along with the whole inch designation. This way, for example, you do not need to calculate 36 inches as equaling 3 feet. The whole inch mark is the easiest to read on the tape measure because the number is clearly stated on the tape.
There is no guesswork. These numbers usually continue for the entire length of the tape measure. Once you get past the whole inch marks, the numbers are usually not stated on the tape. Every inch is divided into two halves. Remember that every inch is divided into four quarters. Most people still find this a fairly easy mark to read, as the line is relatively long. Up to this point, it has been easy to read the tape measure.
For one thing, both are very short marks. For another thing, there are so many of these marks that they can get lost in the thicket of other marks. It is also the first line that you will encounter after or before a whole-inch mark.
The flat metal hook attached with rivets at the end of the tape is meant to grab onto the end of an item so that you can extend the tape. Without the hook, the spring-loaded tape would reel back. This hook is meant to slide back and forth. This is so you can measure either by butting the tape against an object or by hooking it on the edge of the object. The sliding motion ensures that you get an accurate measurement in either direction.
Whether hooking the tape or butting it, make sure you do so firmly. Sometimes this little hook is uncooperative about sliding as it should. Unfortunately, the movement on the hook isn't accurate on all tapes, and it can lose accuracy over time.
