An 8th of an inch, also known as one-eighth of an inch, is a unit of measurement used to describe a particular length or distance that is equal to one-eighth (1/8) of an inch. To visualize this, imagine dividing an inch into eight equal parts. Each of these eight parts will be called an "eighth of an inch."
If you want to see an example of an 8th of an inch, you can use a ruler or a measuring tape. Locate the inch unit on the ruler, and you will notice smaller marks between each inch. Each of these smaller marks represents an increment of 1/8th inch.
Alternatively, to further understand the measurement, you can also convert it to other common units of length. One-eighth of an inch is equal to 3.175 millimeters or approximately 0.3175 centimeters.
