Let’s solve each problem step by step, using knowledge of fractions and the number system as instructed. We’ll read each scale carefully and write the measurement with correct units.
---
1) How long?
- Ruler shows inches (IN).
- The object ends halfway between 0 and 1.
- That’s
½ inch.
✔ Answer: ½ in
---
2) How long?
- Object ends halfway between 1 and 2.
- That’s
1 ½ inches.
✔ Answer: 1 ½ in
---
3) How much? (Liquid Measurement)
- Measuring cup marked in fl oz (fluid ounces).
- The water level is at 10 fl oz.
- Markings go: 4, 8, 12, 16 — so 10 is halfway between 8 and 12.
✔ Answer: 10 fl oz
---
4) How much? (Liquid Measurement)
- Measuring cup marked in cups.
- Water level is halfway between 1 cup and 1½ cups → that’s
1¼ cups.
- Alternatively, you can see it’s one-quarter above 1 cup.
✔ Answer: 1¼ cups
---
5) How much? (Liquid Measurement)
- Measuring cup marked in fl oz.
- Water level is at 14 fl oz (just below 16).
✔ Answer: 14 fl oz
---
6) How long?
- Ruler in inches.
- Object ends just past 2 ½ — actually, it’s at
2 ¾ inches.
- Between 2 and 3: the markings are quarters (¼, ½, ¾). The end is on the third small mark after 2 → 2 ¾.
✔ Answer: 2 ¾ in
---
7) How long?
- Ruler in inches.
- Object ends just before 4 — specifically, it’s at
3 ¾ inches.
- Count: 3, then ¾ of the way to 4.
✔ Answer: 3 ¾ in
---
8) How heavy? (Scale)
- Scale shows pounds (lb) and ounces (oz).
- The needle points to
12 oz.
- Note: 16 oz = 1 lb, so 12 oz is less than 1 lb.
✔ Answer: 12 oz
---
9) How heavy?
- Needle points halfway between 4 and 6 → that’s
5 oz.
- Since it’s under 16 oz, we report in ounces.
✔ Answer: 5 oz
---
10) How heavy?
- Needle points to
14 oz.
- Just before 16 oz.
✔ Answer: 14 oz
---

📌 *Tip: Always check the unit labels on scales (in, fl oz, cups, oz, lb) and count the subdivisions carefully — they’re usually in halves or quarters for these grade-level problems.*
