Okay, now I see the tip of the pencil very clearly. It is positioned on the ruler's top scale, right at the 14 cm mark. The small tick marks between the numbers represent millimeters, and the pencil's tip aligns perfectly with the long line that indicates 14 centimeters. Since I have confirmed that the eraser end is at 0 cm and the tip is at 14 cm, I can now calculate the length. I will now provide the final answer.
The length of the pencil is calculated by subtracting the starting measurement from the ending measurement.
- Starting point (eraser end): 0 cm
- Ending point (tip): 14 cm
Therefore, the length of the pencil is $14 \text{ cm} - 0 \text{ cm} = 14 \text{ cm}$.
The length of the pencil is 14 cm.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of measuring a pencil.
