I'll work through this step by step to find the length of each bar.

Step 1: Understanding how to read the ruler
- Each ruler shows measurements from 0 to 8 inches
- The longer lines mark whole numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.)
- The shorter lines between whole numbers represent fractions of an inch
- To find a bar's length, I need to see where it STARTS and where it ENDS, then subtract

Step 2: Finding each bar's length

1) Bar starts at 0, ends at 5 → Length = 5 - 0 = 5 inches

2) Bar starts at 1, ends at 5½ → Length = 5½ - 1 = 4½ inches

3) Bar starts at 4, ends at 5½ → Length = 5½ - 4 = 1½ inches

4) Bar starts at 0, ends at 1 → Length = 1 - 0 = 1 inch

5) Bar starts at 0, ends at 6¼ → Length = 6¼ - 0 = 6¼ inches

6) Bar starts at 0, ends at 3 → Length = 3 - 0 = 3 inches

7) Bar starts at 1, ends at 3 → Length = 3 - 1 = 2 inches

8) Bar starts at 0, ends at 6¾ → Length = 6¾ - 0 = 6¾ inches

9) Bar starts at 0, ends at 5 → Length = 5 - 0 = 5 inches

10) Bar starts at 1, ends at 7 → Length = 7 - 1 = 6 inches

Let me double-check my calculations:
1) 5 - 0 = 5 ✓
2) 5.5 - 1 = 4.5 ✓
3) 5.5 - 4 = 1.5 ✓
4) 1 - 0 = 1 ✓
5) 6.25 - 0 = 6.25 ✓
6) 3 - 0 = 3 ✓
7) 3 - 1 = 2 ✓
8) 6.75 - 0 = 6.75 ✓
9) 5 - 0 = 5 ✓
10) 7 - 1 = 6 ✓

Final Answer:
1. 5 inches
2. 4½ inches
3. 1½ inches
4. 1 inch
5. 6¼ inches
6. 3 inches
7. 2 inches
8. 6¾ inches
9. 5 inches
10. 6 inches
