Problem Description:
The task involves measuring the length of various objects (paints, pencil, eraser, crayon, and another eraser) by counting the number of units used to measure them. Each object is placed above a series of equally spaced boxes, and the goal is to determine how many boxes each object spans.
Solution Approach:
1.
Understand the Units: Each box represents a unit of measurement.
2.
Count the Boxes: For each object, count how many boxes it spans from one end to the other.
3.
Record the Length: Write the number of boxes in the provided space next to each object.
