Answer:
The eighth of an inch scale measures more precisely.
Step-by-step explanation:
An eighth of an inch means that one inch is divided into 8 equal lengths on the scale i.e. the minimum length that can be measured is [tex]\frac{1}{8} =0.125[/tex] inch.
Again a fourth of an inch means that one inch is divided into 4 equal lengths on the scale i.e. the minimum length that can be measured is [tex]\frac{1}{4} =0.25[/tex] inch.
Therefore, the eighth of an inch scale measures more precisely as it can measure more small measurements. (Answer)
