Let's solve each of the measuring tasks step by step. We need to determine the length of each object by reading the ruler correctly. Remember:
always measure from the 0 mark to the end of the object, and read the measurement at the edge of the object.
---
1) Eraser
- The eraser starts at
0 cm.
- Its end is aligned with
6 cm.
-
✔ Length = 6 cm
---
2) Pencil Sharpener
- The sharpener starts at
0 cm.
- Its end is just before the 4 cm mark, specifically at
3.5 cm (since it’s halfway between 3 and 4).
-
✔ Length = 3.5 cm
---
3) Marker
- The marker starts at
0 cm.
- Its end is at
11 cm.
-
✔ Length = 11 cm
---
4) Yellow Crayon
- The crayon starts at
0 cm.
- Its tip ends at
8 cm.
-
✔ Length = 8 cm
---
5) Paintbrush
- The paintbrush starts at
0 cm.
- Its bristles end at
10 cm.
-
✔ Length = 10 cm
---
✔ Final Answers:
1)
6 cm
2)
3.5 cm
3)
11 cm
4)
8 cm
5)
10 cm

🔍 Tips for Measuring:
- Always align the object with the
0 mark on the ruler.
- Look at the
end of the object to see which number it lines up with.
- If it's between two numbers, estimate the half or quarter marks (e.g., 3.5 cm is halfway between 3 and 4).
