The ruler will give Allison a more precise measurement.

The ruler has a marking every one fourth of an inch and the tape measure has a marking every half of a inch. If Allison wants a more precise measurement, she would use the ruler since it has a marking every one fourth of an inch which is more precise the half an inch.
