Since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific lengths of the pencils in your uploaded image. However, I can guide you through how to solve this type of problem and provide a general explanation.

Task: Measure the length of these pencils in centimetres and millimetres
You are given 5 pencils of varying lengths, and you need to:
1.
Measure each pencil using a ruler.
2. Record the length in
centimetres (cm) and
millimetres (mm).
3. Draw a line that measures one of the given lengths (e.g., 5.0 cm, 7.3 cm, etc.).

Step-by-Step Guide
####
1. How to Measure Pencils
- Place the pencil next to a ruler with the
tip aligned at the 0 mark.
- Read the measurement at the other end of the pencil.
- The number before the decimal is
centimetres, and the number after is
millimetres.
- Example: If a pencil ends at 12.5 cm, it's
12 cm and 5 mm.
####
2. Fill in the Blanks
For each pencil:
- Estimate or measure its length.
- Write the length in
cm and mm format.
Example:
- If a pencil is 10.8 cm long → write:
10 cm and 8 mm
####
3. Draw a Line That Measures One of These Lengths
You're given options:
- 5.0 cm
- 7.3 cm
- 2.8 cm
- 11.5 cm
Choose
one and draw a straight line on the paper that matches that length.
How to draw it:
- Use a ruler.
- Mark the starting point at 0 cm.
- Mark the ending point at the desired length (e.g., 7.3 cm).
- Draw a straight line between them.

Tips
- Always use a
ruler with both cm and mm markings.
- Align the pencil carefully with the zero mark.
- Read the measurement precisely—don’t guess.

Example Answers (if you could see the image):
Let’s assume the pencils look like this (based on typical problems):
| Pencil | Measured Length | Answer |
|--------|------------------|--------|
| 1 | 9.4 cm | 9 cm 4 mm |
| 2 | 13.6 cm | 13 cm 6 mm |
| 3 | 6.2 cm | 6 cm 2 mm |
| 4 | 11.0 cm | 11 cm 0 mm |
| 5 | 8.7 cm | 8 cm 7 mm |
Then, for the drawing part, choose one like
7.3 cm and draw a line from 0 to 7.3 cm.

If you can describe the lengths of the pencils or tell me what they appear to be, I can give exact answers!
