Measure the tape in inches and write down your readings. Assume the reading starts from 0 inch.

To solve the problem, we need to measure the length of each black line on the measuring tapes and write down the readings in inches. Let's go through each one step by step.

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### 1.
- The black line starts at the 0-inch mark and ends just before the 5-inch mark.
- The line extends slightly beyond the 4-inch mark but does not reach the 5-inch mark.
- Reading: 4.75 inches (or 4 3/4 inches).

#### 2.
- The black line starts at the 0-inch mark and ends just before the 4-inch mark.
- The line extends slightly beyond the 3-inch mark but does not reach the 4-inch mark.
- Reading: 3.75 inches (or 3 3/4 inches).

#### 3.
- The black line starts at the 1-inch mark and ends just before the 6-inch mark.
- The line extends slightly beyond the 5-inch mark but does not reach the 6-inch mark.
- Reading: 5.75 inches (or 5 3/4 inches).

#### 4.
- The black line starts at the 2-inch mark and ends just before the 7-inch mark.
- The line extends slightly beyond the 6-inch mark but does not reach the 7-inch mark.
- Reading: 5.75 inches (or 5 3/4 inches).

#### 5.
- The black line starts at the 0-inch mark and ends just before the 2-inch mark.
- The line extends slightly beyond the 1-inch mark but does not reach the 2-inch mark.
- Reading: 1.75 inches (or 1 3/4 inches).

#### 6.
- The black line starts at the 3-inch mark and ends just before the 8-inch mark.
- The line extends slightly beyond the 7-inch mark but does not reach the 8-inch mark.
- Reading: 5.75 inches (or 5 3/4 inches).

#### 7.
- The black line starts at the 4-inch mark and ends just before the 9-inch mark.
- The line extends slightly beyond the 8-inch mark but does not reach the 9-inch mark.
- Reading: 5.75 inches (or 5 3/4 inches).

#### 8.
- The black line starts at the 0-inch mark and ends just before the 2-inch mark.
- The line extends slightly beyond the 1-inch mark but does not reach the 2-inch mark.
- Reading: 1.75 inches (or 1 3/4 inches).

Final Answers:

1. 4.75 inches (or 4 3/4 inches)
2. 3.75 inches (or 3 3/4 inches)
3. 5.75 inches (or 5 3/4 inches)
4. 5.75 inches (or 5 3/4 inches)
5. 1.75 inches (or 1 3/4 inches)
6. 5.75 inches (or 5 3/4 inches)
7. 5.75 inches (or 5 3/4 inches)
8. 1.75 inches (or 1 3/4 inches)

Boxed Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{4.75, 3.75, 5.75, 5.75, 1.75, 5.75, 5.75, 1.75}
