Step-by-step explanation:

So, looking at the ruler, we;re going to take the whole number of the measurment from the whole bars of inches it overlaps (1-3) since we know it goes past there we will have a fraction beside it (because it does not go all the way to 4) If you see the longest lines in between the 3 and 4, there are 3 bars (which means each is 1/4.) Now, we know that it covers 3/4 of the last inch. To convert to /8, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 so we have 6/8. The CLOSEST (but not completely correct) (in 1/8 inches) would be D. (but ONLY if A is incorrect because that is simplified and the accurate answer.
