Here are the answers to the measurement problems on the worksheet. I have checked each scale carefully to find the correct value and unit.
1) How long?
The ruler is in centimeters (cm). The blue line starts at 0 and ends exactly at the number 7.
Answer:
7 cm
2) How long?
The ruler is in millimeters (mm). The numbers go up by 10s (10, 20, 30...). The blue line goes past 60. There are small lines for every single millimeter. The line ends on the 5th small line after 60.
Answer:
65 mm
3) How much?
This is a measuring jug in milliliters (ml). The main lines are every 20 ml (20, 40, 60...). There is one smaller line halfway between them, which represents 10 ml steps. The water level is exactly on the line between 40 and 60.
Answer:
50 ml
4) How much?
The jug is in milliliters (ml). The main lines are every 100 ml. There are 4 small gaps between 200 and 300, meaning each small line is 20 ml. The water is on the second small line above 200 (200 + 20 + 20).
Answer:
240 ml
5) How much?
The jug is in milliliters (ml). The lines are every 200 ml. The water level is exactly halfway between 800 and 1000. Halfway between 800 and 1000 is 900.
Answer:
900 ml
6) How long?
The ruler is in centimeters (cm). The blue line goes past 1. It stops on the 6th small line after 1. Since each small line is 0.1 cm, this is 1.6.
Answer:
1.6 cm
7) How long?
The ruler is in millimeters (mm). The blue line goes past 70. It stops on the 5th small line after 70.
Answer:
75 mm
8) How heavy?
The scale measures in grams (g). The numbers go up by 10s. The needle points exactly to 40.
Answer:
40 g
9) How heavy?
The scale measures in grams (g). The needle is between 60 and 70. It is pointing exactly at the middle mark.
Answer:
65 g
10) How heavy?
The scale measures in grams (g), but the numbers are larger (up to 1kg). The lines go up by 100s (100, 200, 300...). The needle is between 800 and 900. It is pointing exactly at the middle mark.
Answer:
850 g
