The image is a worksheet titled
"Finding Metric Length", where the task is to measure the length of each pink bar using a ruler marked in centimeters (cm). The goal is to determine how long each bar is by reading the ruler correctly.

🔍 How to Solve Each Problem:
Each bar is placed on a metric ruler that goes from 0 to 13 cm. To find the length:
1.
Identify the starting point of the bar (where it aligns with the ruler).
2.
Identify the ending point of the bar.
3.
Subtract the start from the end to get the length.
If the bar starts at 0, then the length is simply the endpoint value.
Let’s go through each one:

✔ Step-by-Step Solutions:
####
1)
- Starts at
6 cm
- Ends at
10.5 cm
- Length = 10.5 - 6 =
4.5 cm
####
2)
- Starts at
1 cm
- Ends at
7.5 cm
- Length = 7.5 - 1 =
6.5 cm
####
3)
- Starts at
3 cm
- Ends at
7.5 cm
- Length = 7.5 - 3 =
4.5 cm
####
4)
- Starts at
5 cm
- Ends at
11 cm
- Length = 11 - 5 =
6 cm
####
5)
- Starts at
0 cm
- Ends at
13.5 cm
- Length = 13.5 - 0 =
13.5 cm
####
6)
- Starts at
4 cm
- Ends at
9 cm
- Length = 9 - 4 =
5 cm
####
7)
- Starts at
4 cm
- Ends at
10 cm
- Length = 10 - 4 =
6 cm
####
8)
- Starts at
0 cm
- Ends at
13 cm
- Length = 13 - 0 =
13 cm
####
9)
- Starts at
2 cm
- Ends at
9.5 cm
- Length = 9.5 - 2 =
7.5 cm
####
10)
- Starts at
4 cm
- Ends at
8.5 cm
- Length = 8.5 - 4 =
4.5 cm

📝 Tips for Measuring Accurately:
- Always check if the bar starts at zero or not.
- Use the smallest unit on the ruler (millimeters) to estimate half-centimeter marks.
- Align the edge of the bar carefully with the ruler.
