Let us convert 1 foot into inches. 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.
1/8 * 12 inches = 1.5 inches
Point 1: 1.5 inches Point 2: 3.00 inches Point 3: 4.5 inches Point 4: 6 inches Point 5: 7.5 inches Point 6: 9 inches Point 7: 10.5 inches Point 8: 12 inches or 1 foot.
Each bookmark is 1.5 inches in length.
1.5 inches * 5 bookmarks = 7.5 inches
