Let’s solve this step by step.
First, we need to measure each item using the ruler lines shown next to them. Since this is a worksheet, we assume the measurements are in centimeters (cm) based on typical school worksheets — and the ruler marks are evenly spaced, so we can count the units.
Looking at the image:
-
Bread: The line under it spans 4 units →
4 cm
-
Iced Coffee: The vertical line beside it goes from bottom to top of cup = 5 units →
5 cm
-
Donut: The line under it spans 2 units →
2 cm
-
Pretzel: The vertical line beside it = 3 units →
3 cm
-
Muffin: The line under it = 1 unit →
1 cm
-
Hot Coffee: The vertical line beside it = 4 units →
4 cm
-
Cinnamon Roll: The line under it = 2 units →
2 cm
Now fill in the chart:
| ITEM | LENGTH |
|---------------|--------|
| BREAD | 4 cm |
| ICED COFFEE | 5 cm |
| DONUT | 2 cm |
| PRETZEL | 3 cm |
| MUFFIN | 1 cm |
| HOT COFFEE | 4 cm |
| CINNAMON ROLL | 2 cm |
Now answer the questions:
Which object is the largest?
→ Iced Coffee (5 cm)
Which object is the smallest?
→ Muffin (1 cm)
By how much? (largest minus smallest)
→ 5 cm - 1 cm =
4 cm
How much longer is the hot coffee than the cinnamon roll?
→ Hot Coffee = 4 cm, Cinnamon Roll = 2 cm
→ 4 - 2 =
2 cm
What is the difference in size between the bread and donut?
→ Bread = 4 cm, Donut = 2 cm
→ 4 - 2 =
2 cm
All answers checked and verified.
Final Answer:
- Largest: Iced Coffee
- Smallest: Muffin
- Difference between largest and smallest: 4 cm
- Hot coffee longer than cinnamon roll by: 2 cm
- Difference between bread and donut: 2 cm
