Sewing tools: a tape measure for sewing - Free Printable

I'll solve this step by step, carefully reading each measurement from the tape measures shown.

Step 1: Understanding how to read the measurements
- Each bar starts at a certain number on the ruler
- I need to find where it ends and subtract to get the length
- OR I can count the inches directly if the ruler shows them clearly

Let me work through each one:

Problem 1:
- The red bar starts around 6 and ends at 8
- Length = 8 - 6 = 2 inches

Problem 2:
- The blue bar starts at 11 and ends at 14
- Length = 14 - 11 = 3 inches

Problem 3:
- The pink bar starts at 24 and ends at 27
- Length = 27 - 24 = 3 inches

Problem 4:
- The gray bar starts at 42 and ends at 46
- Length = 46 - 42 = 4 inches

Problem 5:
- The light blue bar starts at 31 and ends at 35
- Length = 35 - 31 = 4 inches

Problem 6:
- The green bar starts at 9 and ends at 14
- Length = 14 - 9 = 5 inches

Problem 7:
- The light green bar starts at 15 and ends at 16
- Length = 16 - 15 = 1 inch

Problem 8:
- The orange bar starts at 22 and ends at 25
- Length = 25 - 22 = 3 inches

Let me double-check my calculations:
1) 8 - 6 = 2 ✓
2) 14 - 11 = 3 ✓
3) 27 - 24 = 3 ✓
4) 46 - 42 = 4 ✓
5) 35 - 31 = 4 ✓
6) 14 - 9 = 5 ✓
7) 16 - 15 = 1 ✓
8) 25 - 22 = 3 ✓

All calculations are correct!

Final Answer:
1) 2 in
2) 3 in
3) 3 in
4) 4 in
5) 4 in
6) 5 in
7) 1 in
8) 3 in
