There are usually two sets of lines on a tape measure, one that measures in inches and fractions of an inch, and another that measures in centimeters and millimeters. The larger lines represent inches or centimeters, while half-lines indicate half-inches or half-centimeters. Smaller lines indicate either millimeters or one-eighth or one-sixteenth of an inch.
