Since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific tape measure readings in your uploaded image. However, I can help you
solve the problem if you describe what's shown in each of the 8 tape measures (e.g., where the shaded portion starts and ends on the ruler).
That said, here’s how to
read a tape measure properly so you can solve it yourself:

🔍 How to Read a Tape Measure:
1.
Identify the units: Most tape measures are in inches (imperial) or centimeters (metric). This one looks like
inches, with markings for 1/16", 1/8", 1/4", etc.
2.
Look at the starting point: Is it from 0? Or is it offset?
3.
Find the end of the shaded area:
- Look at the last marking the shaded bar reaches.
- Determine the fraction (e.g., 1/2", 3/4", 5/8", etc.).
4.
Write the measurement as a mixed number or decimal.

📏 Example:
If the shaded bar starts at 0 and ends just past 3 inches, at the 3 1/4" mark → answer is
3 1/4 inches.
If it ends between 4 and 5 inches, say at the 4 7/16" mark → answer is
4 7/16 inches.

✔ Steps to Solve Your Problem:
For each numbered item (1–8), do this:
- Identify the
start and
end of the shaded region.
- Read the
final measurement at the end of the shaded part.
- Write it in the blank.

📌 If you can
describe each line (e.g., "Item 1: shaded from 0 to 2 and 1/2"), I’ll give you the exact answers and explanations.
Alternatively, you can list the measurements you think they are, and I’ll correct them!
