Explanation:
We need to measure each object using the ruler shown. The rulers are marked in centimeters (cm), with smaller lines for millimeters (mm). We read the length from the 0 cm mark to where the object ends.
1.
Caterpillar:
- Starts at 0 cm.
- Ends at the 8 cm mark (the head aligns exactly with 8 cm).
→ Length =
8 cm
2.
Toy car:
- Starts at 0 cm.
- Ends at the 3 cm mark (rear wheel aligns with 3 cm).
→ Length =
3 cm
3.
Water Bottle:
- Starts at 0 cm.
- Ends at the 6 cm mark (cap end aligns with 6 cm).
→ Length =
6 cm
4.
Soda bottle:
- Starts at 0 cm.
- Ends at the 4 cm mark (top of cap aligns with 4 cm).
→ Length =
4 cm
Now answer the questions:
1. What is the longest?
Compare: 8 cm (caterpillar), 3 cm (car), 6 cm (bottle), 4 cm (soda) →
Caterpillar is longest.
2. The ______ is 6 cm long.
From above, the
water bottle is 6 cm.
3. The caterpillar is ____ cm long.
→
8
4. The soda is ____ cm long.
→
4
Let me double-check all measurements carefully:
- Caterpillar: head ends at 8.0 cm — yes.
- Toy car: rear bumper at 3.0 cm — yes.
- Water bottle: cap tip at 6.0 cm — yes.
- Soda: cap top at 4.0 cm — yes.
All correct.
Final Answer:
1. Caterpillar
2. Water Bottle
3. 8
4. 4
