I'll help you measure each object using the rulers provided. Let me work through this step by step.
Step 1: Measure the pencil
- The pencil starts at 0 on the ruler
- The tip of the pencil (including the eraser) ends at approximately 7.5 cm
-
Pencil length: 7.5 cm
Step 2: Measure the matchstick
- The matchstick starts at 0 on the ruler
- It ends at approximately 5 cm
-
Matchstick length: 5 cm
Step 3: Measure the truck
- The truck starts at 0 on the ruler
- The back of the truck ends at approximately 8 cm
-
Truck length: 8 cm
Step 4: Measure the spoon
- The spoon starts at 0 on the ruler
- The end of the spoon bowl ends at approximately 9.5 cm
-
Spoon length: 9.5 cm
Step 5: Measure the knife
- The knife starts at approximately 2.5 cm on the ruler
- The tip of the knife ends at approximately 9 cm
- To find the length: 9 - 2.5 = 6.5 cm
-
Knife length: 6.5 cm
Let me double-check my measurements by looking more carefully at where each object starts and ends on the rulers.
Final Answer:
- Pencil: 7.5 cm
- Matchstick: 5 cm
- Truck: 8 cm
- Spoon: 9.5 cm
- Knife: 6.5 cm
