🔍 How to Read a Metric Ruler (Centimeters):
1.
Understand the markings:
- The
longest lines are labeled with numbers (e.g., 20, 21, 22...). These represent
centimeters (cm).
- Between each centimeter, there are
10 smaller lines, which represent
millimeters (mm).
- So, each small line = 0.1 cm (or 1 mm).
- The
second-longest lines (at 0.5 cm) are usually slightly longer than the others but shorter than the numbered ones.
2.
To measure an object:
- Look at where the
green bar starts and where it
ends.
- Read the
starting point (usually from 0 or another number).
- Then read the
ending point.
- Subtract the starting point from the ending point to get the length in centimeters.
3.
Example:
- If a green bar starts at
20.0 cm and ends at
28.5 cm, then:
$$
28.5 - 20.0 = 8.5 \text{ cm}
$$
