🔍 Understanding the Task

Each character (Divvy, Subby, Addy, Mutli) has a string placed next to a ruler marked in centimeters (cm). The goal is to:
1. Measure the length of each string.
2. Determine who has the shortest and longest string.
3. Order the lengths from shortest to longest using inequality signs (`<`).

## ✔ Problem 1

We have three characters: Divvy, Subby, and Addy.

Step 1: Measure each string

#### 🟦 Divvy’s string
- Starts at 0 cm, ends just before 6 cm.
- The end is at 5.8 cm (just before the 6 mark).
- So, Divvy = 5.8 cm

#### 🟨 Subby’s string
- Starts at 0 cm, ends at 9 cm.
- So, Subby = 9 cm

#### 🟥 Addy’s string
- Starts at 0 cm, ends at 2.5 cm.
- So, Addy = 2.5 cm

Step 2: Compare the lengths

- Shortest: Addy (2.5 cm)
- Longest: Subby (9 cm)
- Middle: Divvy (5.8 cm)

So:
- Addy has the shortest string.
- Subby has the longest string.
- Inequality:
2.5 cm < 5.8 cm < 9 cm

## ✔ Problem 2

Characters: Subby, Addy, Mutli

Step 1: Measure each string

#### 🟨 Subby’s string
- Starts at 0 cm, ends at 8 cm.
- So, Subby = 8 cm

#### 🟥 Addy’s string
- Starts at 0 cm, ends at 4.5 cm.
- So, Addy = 4.5 cm

#### 🟪 Mutli’s string
- Starts at 0 cm, ends at 3.5 cm.
- So, Mutli = 3.5 cm

Step 2: Compare the lengths

- Shortest: Mutli (3.5 cm)
- Longest: Subby (8 cm)
- Middle: Addy (4.5 cm)

So:
- Mutli has the shortest string.
- Subby has the longest string.
- Inequality:
3.5 cm < 4.5 cm < 8 cm

## ✔ Final Answers

Problem 1

- Addy has the shortest string.
- Subby has the longest string.
- 2.5 cm < 5.8 cm < 9 cm

Problem 2

- Mutli has the shortest string.
- Subby has the longest string.
- 3.5 cm < 4.5 cm < 8 cm

## 💡 Tips for Students
- Always check where the string starts and ends on the ruler.
- Use the smallest unit (millimeter marks) if needed for accuracy.
- Remember: "Shortest" means smallest number, "Longest" means largest number.
