It is made up of materials like fiberglass, cloth, plastic, metal ribbon or strip. So, it is a kind of flexible ruler also known as a tape measure.&nbsp; It is marked in centimeters and inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.splashmath.com\/cms_assets\/resources\/math-vocabulary\/measurements\/measuring-tape\/pictures\/What_is_a_Measuring_Tape_.png\" alt=\"What is a Measuring Tape?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"1-markings-on-a-measuring-tape\">Markings on a Measuring Tape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A measuring tape shows marking in two different units\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/measurements\/centimeter\" title=\"centimeters\">centimeters<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/measurements\/inch\" title=\"\">inches<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Division Markings in Centimeters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The measurements on the bottom of the image given below are in centimeters and millimeters. 10 millimeters make 1 cm, so there are 10 divisions between each centimeter. Each small division is equivalent to 1 mm. When looking at the given image, the first small mark after the 5 cm marking denotes a measurement of 51 mm which can also be referred to as 5.1 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Division Markings in Inches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The measurements towards the top of the given image are in inches. The large numbers, 1, 2, 3 \u2026, marked next to the long markings represent whole inches.
