English: Cent and semitone (100 cents) size comparison on a monochord, trimmed down to the semitone so the cent is visible. Here distance for 0, 1, 99, and 100 cents should be 0, 0.12, 11.88, and 12. If the semitone (distance between the nut and fingering) is 12 centimeters then the distance from the nut to bridge is about 214 centimeters, or 7 feet.
