Looking at the knife measurement, I can see that the tip of the knife's handle is aligned with the 3 cm mark on the ruler, and the tip of the blade extends to the 9 cm mark. To calculate the length of the knife, I need to subtract the starting position from the ending position: 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm.
Now I have all the measurements for each object on the worksheet:
- Pencil: 7 cm (from 0 to 7)
- Matchstick: 5 cm (from 0 to 5)
- Truck: 8 cm (from 0 to 8)
- Spoon: 10 cm (from 0 to 10)
- Knife: 6 cm (from 3 to 9)
The solution to this "How Long?" worksheet is to record these measurements in the corresponding boxes next to each object. Each object's length has been measured using the provided ruler, following the instructions to record the measurement on the line provided (which are represented by the empty squares next to each item).
