[ 0026 ] fig2 displays a jak - ruler 20 with two scales that clearly show the gradations of the jak - linear system 21 and the jak - metric system 22 with the smallest gradation being the jak - millimeter 23 of the present invention . it shows that three jak - centimeters 22 equal one jak - inch , and thirty jak - centimeters equal one jak - foot . it also shows that there are ten jak - inches to the jak foot and ten jak - millimeters to the jak - centimeter . the present invention is a new measuring system that provides a means for linear measure with a first set of gradations being referred to as the jak - linear system with each gradation being based on the decimal system with a radix of 10 ( base 10 ) where 10 jak - inches make a jak - foot , 30 jak - inches make a jak - yard , and 5 , 000 jak - feet make a jak - mile as is displayed on the scaled ruler in fig2 and in the table in fig3 . the jak - inch can be divided into smaller increments of \u00bd \u2033, \u215c \u2033, \u00bc \u2033, \u215b \u2033, { fraction ( 1 / 16 )
