To solve this problem, we need to measure the length of each colored bar using the ruler provided. The rulers are marked in inches, and we’ll read where each bar ends to find its length.

Let’s go one by one:

1) Red bar: Starts at 5 inches, ends at 8 inches → 8 - 5 = 3 inches

2) Blue bar: Starts at 11 inches, ends at 14 inches → 14 - 11 = 3 inches

3) Pink bar: Starts at 24 inches, ends at 27 inches → 27 - 24 = 3 inches

4) Gray bar: Starts at 42 inches, ends at 46 inches → 46 - 42 = 4 inches

5) Light blue bar: Starts at 31 inches, ends at 35 inches → 35 - 31 = 4 inches

6) Green bar: Starts at 9 inches, ends at 14 inches → 14 - 9 = 5 inches

7) Lime green bar: Starts at 15 inches, ends at 16 inches → 16 - 15 = 1 inch

8) Orange bar: Starts at 22 inches, ends at 24 inches → 24 - 22 = 2 inches

All measurements are whole numbers — no fractions needed here. We just subtract the starting point from the ending point on the ruler.

Final Answer:
1) 3 in
2) 3 in
3) 3 in
4) 4 in
5) 4 in
6) 5 in
7) 1 in
8) 2 in
