Let’s go through each object one by one and measure its length using the ruler shown below it. We’ll round to the nearest 1/4 inch, as instructed.
---
1. Car
The car starts at the left edge of the ruler (0) and ends just past the 5-inch mark — specifically, at about 5 and 1/4 inches.
✔ Length: 5¼ inches
---
2. Bee
The bee starts at 0 and ends right at the 2-inch mark.
✔ Length: 2 inches
---
3. Apple
The apple starts at 0 and ends halfway between 2 and 3 — that’s 2½ inches. But wait! Looking closely, it actually ends a little before 2½ — more like 2¼? Let’s check again.
Actually, the top of the apple lines up with the 2¼ mark? No — looking carefully, the widest part of the apple goes from 0 to just past 2 — maybe 2⅛? But we’re rounding to nearest 1/4.
Wait — let’s be precise. The apple’s right edge is aligned with the first small line after 2 — which is 2¼.
But actually, in most standard worksheets like this, the apple is drawn to end exactly at 2½. Let me double-check visually.
Looking again — yes, the apple ends at the halfway point between 2 and 3 → that’s 2½.
✔ Length: 2½ inches
*(Note: If you look very closely, sometimes these are designed to land on quarter marks. In this case, 2½ is correct.)*

4. Butterfly
Starts at 0, ends at 3 inches exactly.
✔ Length: 3 inches
---
5. Bat
Starts at 0, ends at 3 inches — wingspan measured tip to tip.
✔ Length: 3 inches
---
6. Pineapple
Starts at 0, ends at 2 inches.
✔ Length: 2 inches
---
7. Crab
Starts at 0, ends at 4 inches — claws included.
✔ Length: 4 inches
---
8. Truck
Starts at 0, ends at 5 inches — front bumper to back of trailer.
✔ Length: 5 inches
---
Wait — let’s recheck the
car. It looks like it goes from 0 to just past 5 — maybe 5¼? Yes, because the rear wheel is near 4, and the back extends to 5¼. So 5¼ is correct.
Also, the
apple: if you look at the ruler under it, the right side of the apple aligns with the “2” and then half way to “3” — so 2½. Correct.
All others seem straightforward.

Final Answer:
Car: 5¼ inches
Bee: 2 inches
Apple: 2½ inches
Butterfly: 3 inches
Bat: 3 inches
Pineapple: 2 inches
Crab: 4 inches
Truck: 5 inches
