To find the length of each green bar, we look at where the left end starts and where the right end stops on the tape measure. Then, we subtract the starting number from the ending number.
Here is the step-by-step for each problem:
1.
First Bar:
* Starts at: 61
* Ends at: 65
* Calculation: $65 - 61 = 4$
2.
Second Bar:
* Starts at: 36
* Ends at: 36 and a half (36.5)
* Calculation: $36.5 - 36 = 0.5$
3.
Third Bar:
* Starts at: 57
* Ends at: 58
* Calculation: $58 - 57 = 1$
4.
Fourth Bar:
* Starts at: 39
* Ends at: 41 and a quarter (41.25). The bar goes past 41 by one small mark. Since there are 4 small marks between inches, each mark is 0.25.
* Calculation: $41.25 - 39 = 2.25$
5.
Fifth Bar:
* Starts at: 44
* Ends at: 46 and three-quarters (46.75). The bar ends at the third small mark after 46.
* Calculation: $46.75 - 44 = 2.75$
6.
Sixth Bar:
* Starts at: 73
* Ends at: 74 and three-quarters (74.75). The bar ends at the third small mark after 74.
* Calculation: $74.75 - 73 = 1.75$
7.
Seventh Bar:
* Starts at: 48
* Ends at: 48 and a half (48.5). The bar ends at the second small mark after 48.
* Calculation: $48.5 - 48 = 0.5$
8.
Eighth Bar:
* Starts at: 35
* Ends at: 38 and a quarter (38.25). The bar ends at the first small mark after 38.
* Calculation: $38.25 - 35 = 3.25$
Final Answer:
1. 4 inches
2. 0.5 inches
3. 1 inch
4. 2.25 inches
5. 2.75 inches
6. 1.75 inches
7. 0.5 inches
8. 3.25 inches
