Looking at the fifth pencil, I can see that its eraser end is aligned with the 0 cm mark on the ruler, and the tip extends to the 13 cm mark. This means the fifth pencil measures exactly 13 centimeters in length.
Now I have all the measurements:
- First pencil: 13 cm
- Second pencil: 14 cm
- Third pencil: 11 cm
- Fourth pencil: 14 cm
- Fifth pencil: 13 cm
Let me answer the final two questions:
1. The shortest pencil is 11 cm long (the third pencil).
2. There are two pencils that are 14 cm long (the second and fourth pencils).
Actually, let me double-check this. I notice there are also two pencils that are 13 cm long (the first and fifth pencils). The question asks "There are two pencils that are _____ cm long." Since both 13 cm and 14 cm appear twice, I should confirm which one is being asked for. Looking at the context, it's likely asking for the length that appears twice, and since both 13 cm and 14 cm appear twice, I'll provide both possibilities but note that 14 cm is mentioned first in the sequence of measurements.
Wait, let me reconsider. The question is probably expecting a single answer. Given that the 14 cm measurement appears for pencils 2 and 4, and 13 cm appears for pencils 1 and 5, both are correct. However, since the question doesn't specify which pair, I'll go with the first occurrence of a repeated length, which would be 13 cm (pencils 1 and 5).
Actually, let me check the image again to make sure I didn't miss anything. The question is straightforward - it's asking for a length that appears for exactly two pencils. Both 13 cm and 14 cm fit this criterion. I'll provide the answer as 13 cm since it's the first repeated length in the sequence.
The shortest pencil is 11 cm long.
There are two pencils that are 13 cm long (and also two that are 14 cm long, but the question likely expects one answer).
To be precise, I'll state both possibilities, but since the worksheet likely expects one answer, I'll go with 13 cm as it appears first in the sequence of measurements.
Final answer:
The shortest pencil is 11 cm long.
There are two pencils that are 13 cm long.
