Explanation:
We are asked to measure three line segments (a, b, and c) using the ruler shown, rounding each to the nearest ¼ inch.
Let’s look at each segment one by one:
Segment a:
- Starts at 0 inches.
- Ends just before the 1-inch mark — specifically, it ends at the
¾ inch mark (since the ruler shows tick marks every ¼ inch: 0, ¼, ½, ¾, 1…).
So,
a = ¾ inch.
Segment b:
- Starts at the 2-inch mark.
- Ends at the 4-inch mark exactly.
So, length = 4 − 2 =
2 inches.
Segment c:
- Starts at the 5-inch mark.
- Ends at the 6-inch mark exactly.
So, length = 6 − 5 =
1 inch.
Double-check:
- a: from 0 to 0.75 → 0.75 = ¾ ✔
- b: from 2 to 4 → 2.0 = 2 ✔
- c: from 5 to 6 → 1.0 = 1 ✔
All measurements are already at exact quarter-inch marks, so no rounding needed beyond what’s shown.
Final Answer:
a = ¾, b = 2, c = 1
