Absolutely! Let’s solve this step by step. The worksheet is titled
“I Can Read in Quarter Inches!”, which means we need to measure each ribbon using a ruler that shows
quarters of an inch (i.e., ¼, ½, ¾).
On the ruler:
- The
longest lines are whole inches (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
- The
medium-length lines are
half-inches (½ inch marks).
- The
shortest lines are
quarter-inches (¼ and ¾ inch marks).
Let’s go one by one.
---
1. Pink Ribbon
- Starts at
0 inches.
- Ends just before the
4½-inch mark — specifically, it ends at the
4¼-inch mark (the first small tick after 4).
✔ Answer: 4 ¼ inches
---
2. Green Ribbon
- Starts at
0 inches.
- Ends at the
6½-inch mark (the medium line between 6 and 7).
✔ Answer: 6 ½ inches
---
3. Red Ribbon
- Starts at
0 inches.
- Ends at the
6¼-inch mark (the first small tick after 6).
✔ Answer: 6 ¼ inches
---
4. Blue Ribbon
- Starts at
0 inches.
- Ends at the
4¾-inch mark (the third small tick after 4 — since ¾ = 3/4).
✔ Answer: 4 ¾ inches
---
5. Brown Ribbon
- Starts at
0 inches.
- Ends at the
7¼-inch mark (first small tick after 7).
✔ Answer: 7 ¼ inches

Tip for Reading Rulers in Quarter Inches:
- Between any two whole numbers (e.g., 4 and 5), there are 4 equal parts.
- The ticks represent:
→ 4 ¼ (first tick)
→ 4 ½ (second tick, longer)
→ 4 ¾ (third tick)
→ 5 (fourth tick, whole number)
You’re doing great learning to read measurements precisely! 📏
