How would i be able to figure out the .75 decimal on measuring tape when i measure 15 3/4? I used a website to figure out 15 3/4 is 15.75. I just dont know how to count the .75 on a measuring tape.

decent bait attempt but nothing special 4/10

.1 means 1/10
.01 means 1/100
.001 means 1/1000
This means .75 = 75/100
You can simplify 75/100 to 3/4, which means that dividing up a pie into 100 equal pieces and eating 75 of them is the same as if you divided the same pie into 4 pieces and eating 3 of them. Simplifying is better because it's easier to imaging cutting one inch into 4 pieces is easier that cutting them into 100.
So say you want to guess (approximate) where 0.6732 is on a measuring tape. You now know that 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 are just 0/4, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 on the measuring tape. .6732 is between .5 and .75, so you know you marking is between the 2/4 and 3/4 mark on the tape. You could find the center between the .5 and .75 which is .6225, So a good guess is a little after the 2nd mark after the 2/4 = 1/2 mark.
Look up how to do ruler fraction math online or on youtube. If you need more help, look for the Ask Stupid Questions thread (which is for all questions, not just stupid)

Dude might just not have gone to school. No need to shit on people for not having a luxury like that. Public education is a non-trivial resource. You should count your blessings more often

What do you count in between the four fractions? Sure, each of the four point leading to another inch is 1/4=.25, leading to a 1.00 (one inch), but what do you count when your measurement falls on one of the points in between? Every increment doesnt seem to add to each of the four fractions of an inch.

3/4 = X/100
X = 300/4 = 75
