Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Measuring Centimetres Using a Ruler - Maths with Mum
To solve this problem, you need to use a physical ruler. Since I am an AI, I cannot measure the lines on your screen or paper directly because the size depends on how much you zoom in or the size of the paper you printed.

However, I can guide you exactly on how to get the correct answers for your homework.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Get a Ruler: Find a standard ruler that has centimeters (cm) marked on it. Look for the side with the longer lines and numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc.
2. Align the Zero: Pick one line from the worksheet. Place the 0 cm mark of your ruler exactly at the very beginning (the left end or top end) of the line.
3. Read the Measurement: Look at where the other end of the line stops on your ruler.
* The instructions say "Whole Centimetres." This means if the line ends between two numbers (for example, between 4 and 5), you should look at which whole number it is closest to. Usually, in these problems, the lines are drawn to end exactly on a whole number.
4. Write the Answer: Write that number in the empty box next to the line. Don't forget to add "cm" if your teacher asks for units, though the boxes usually just want the number.
5. Repeat: Do this for every line on the page.

Example:
If you place the 0 at the start of a line and the end of the line lines up perfectly with the number 6 on your ruler, the answer is 6.

Since I cannot see the physical scale of your specific worksheet, please follow these steps with your ruler to find the exact numbers for each box.

Final Answer:
Please use a ruler to measure each line from the 0 mark to the end. Record the whole number (in centimeters) that each line reaches in the corresponding box.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of measuring cm worksheet.
