Task: Measure each object using the ruler shown below it.
We are given four objects, each with a ruler beneath it. The ruler is marked from
0 to 12 meters (m), and we need to determine the length of each object by reading how many meters it spans on the ruler.

Step-by-step Measurement:
####
1. Table
- The table starts at
0 m and ends at
5 m.
- So, its length is:
$$
5 - 0 = 5 \text{ meters}
$$
✔ Answer: 5 m

####
2. Picture Frame (with mountain scene)
- The frame starts at
0 m and ends at
3 m.
- So, its length is:
$$
3 - 0 = 3 \text{ meters}
$$
✔ Answer: 3 m
---
####
3. Rug (red with yellow diamond)
- The rug starts at
0 m and ends at
4 m.
- So, its length is:
$$
4 - 0 = 4 \text{ meters}
$$
✔ Answer: 4 m

####
4. Sofa
- The sofa starts at
0 m and ends at
6 m.
- So, its length is:
$$
6 - 0 = 6 \text{ meters}
$$
✔ Answer: 6 m
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Object | Length |
|--------------|--------|
| Table | 5 m |
| Picture | 3 m |
| Rug | 4 m |
| Sofa | 6 m |

📝 Explanation:
- We used the ruler under each object to measure the length.
- Always start from
0 and see where the object ends.
- The unit is in
meters (m), as labeled on the ruler.
This exercise teaches accurate measurement using a ruler, which is a fundamental skill in math and science.
