Let’s go through each bar one by one. We’ll look at where the bar starts and where it ends on the ruler, then subtract to find the length.
Remember: The rulers are marked in inches, and we’re measuring from the left edge of the blue bar to the right edge.
---
1) Bar starts at 0, ends at 4 → Length = 4 - 0 =
4
2) Bar starts at 1, ends at 5 → Length = 5 - 1 =
4
3) Bar starts at 4, ends at 5.5 → Length = 5.5 - 4 =
1.5
4) Bar starts at 0, ends at 1 → Length = 1 - 0 =
1
5) Bar starts at 0, ends at 6 → Length = 6 - 0 =
6
6) Bar starts at 0, ends at 3 → Length = 3 - 0 =
3
7) Bar starts at 1, ends at 3 → Length = 3 - 1 =
2
8) Bar starts at 0, ends at 7 → Length = 7 - 0 =
7
9) Bar starts at 0, ends at 5 → Length = 5 - 0 =
5
10) Bar starts at 1, ends at 7.5 → Length = 7.5 - 1 =
6.5
