Measuring Length online activity - Free Printable

To solve the problem, we need to measure the length of each highlighted segment on the ruler and express the measurements in both centimeters (cm) and millimeters (mm). Let's go through each segment step by step.

Step 1: Understand the Ruler

- The ruler is marked in millimeters (mm).
- Every 10 mm equals 1 cm.
- The smallest division on the ruler represents 1 mm.

Step 2: Measure Each Segment

#### Segment 1:
- The segment starts at the 0 mm mark and ends at the 7 cm mark.
- Length in cm: \( 7 \) cm
- Length in mm: \( 7 \times 10 = 70 \) mm

#### Segment 2:
- The segment starts at the 3 cm mark and ends at the 6 cm mark.
- Length in cm: \( 6 - 3 = 3 \) cm
- Length in mm: \( 3 \times 10 = 30 \) mm

#### Segment 3:
- The segment starts at the 8 cm mark and ends at the 11 cm mark.
- Length in cm: \( 11 - 8 = 3 \) cm
- Length in mm: \( 3 \times 10 = 30 \) mm

#### Segment 4:
- The segment starts at the 0 cm mark and ends at the 9 cm mark.
- Length in cm: \( 9 \) cm
- Length in mm: \( 9 \times 10 = 90 \) mm

#### Segment 5:
- The segment starts at the 1 cm mark and ends at the 5 cm mark.
- Length in cm: \( 5 - 1 = 4 \) cm
- Length in mm: \( 4 \times 10 = 40 \) mm

#### Segment 6:
- The segment starts at the 5 cm mark and ends at the 6 cm mark.
- Length in cm: \( 6 - 5 = 1 \) cm
- Length in mm: \( 1 \times 10 = 10 \) mm

Step 3: Fill in the Answers

1. First Segment:
- cm: \( 7 \)
- mm: \( 70 \)

2. Second Segment:
- cm: \( 3 \)
- mm: \( 30 \)

3. Third Segment:
- cm: \( 3 \)
- mm: \( 30 \)

4. Fourth Segment:
- cm: \( 9 \)
- mm: \( 90 \)

5. Fifth Segment:
- cm: \( 4 \)
- mm: \( 40 \)

6. Sixth Segment:
- cm: \( 1 \)
- mm: \( 10 \)

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{c|c|c}
\text{Segment} & \text{cm} & \text{mm} \\
\hline
1 & 7 & 70 \\
2 & 3 & 30 \\
3 & 3 & 30 \\
4 & 9 & 90 \\
5 & 4 & 40 \\
6 & 1 & 10 \\
\end{array}
}
