📝 Explanation:

To measure:
1. Align the left end of the object with 0 cm on the ruler.
2. Look at where the right end of the object lines up.
3. Estimate the position between the centimeter marks.
4. Round to the nearest whole number — if it's halfway or more, round up; otherwise, round down.

For example:
- 3.2 cm → rounds to 3 cm
- 14.3 cm → rounds to 14 cm
- 8.4 cm → rounds to 8 cm
- 6.3 cm → rounds to 6 cm
