- The paintbrush spans from the left edge of the grid to the right edge.
- Count the number of squares it covers:
7 units.
2.
The pencil:
- The pencil spans from the left edge of the grid to the right edge.
- Count the number of squares it covers:
7 units.
3.
The eraser:
- The eraser spans from the left edge of the grid to just past the middle.
- Count the number of squares it covers:
4 units.
4.
The crayon:
- The crayon spans from the left edge of the grid to just past the middle.
- Count the number of squares it covers:
5 units.
5.
The brush:
- The brush spans from the left edge of the grid to just past the middle.
- Count the number of squares it covers:
4 units.
