Explanation:
To solve this, we need to measure the length of each green bar using the ruler shown. The ruler is in inches, and we need to read where each bar starts and ends.
Step 1: Look at the first bar.
- The bar starts at the 1-inch mark.
- The bar ends at the 5-inch mark.
- To find the length, subtract the starting point from the ending point:
5 – 1 = 4 inches.
Step 2: Look at the second bar.
- The bar starts at the 2-inch mark.
- The bar ends at the 6-inch mark.
- Length = 6 – 2 = 4 inches.
Step 3: Look at the third bar.
- The bar starts at the 3-inch mark.
- The bar ends at the 7-inch mark.
- Length = 7 – 3 = 4 inches.
Step 4: Look at the fourth bar.
- The bar starts at the 4-inch mark.
- The bar ends at the 8-inch mark.
- Length = 8 – 4 = 4 inches.
Step 5: Look at the fifth bar.
- The bar starts at the 5-inch mark.
- The bar ends at the 9-inch mark.
- Length = 9 – 5 = 4 inches.
Each bar is 4 inches long.
Final Answer:
4 inches
