"Reading Scales 2A" step by step and solve them.
---
1) How many fl oz?
- The measuring jug goes from 0 to 10 fl oz in increments of 2.
- The water level is at the
7 mark (between 6 and 8).
-
Answer: 7 fl oz
---
2) How many ml?
- The scale goes from 0 to 100 ml in increments of 20.
- Each small line is 10 ml (since it’s between 20 and 40, etc.).
- The water level is at the
40 ml mark.
-
Answer: 40 ml
---
3) How many ml?
- Same scale as #2: 0–100 ml in 20s.
- Water level is at the
20 ml mark.
-
Answer: 20 ml
---
4) How long is the line? ____ cm
- Ruler marked in centimeters (0–10 cm), with millimeter lines.
- The line starts at
0 and ends just before the
5.5 cm mark.
- It ends exactly at
5.5 cm (halfway between 5 and 6).
-
Answer: 5.5 cm
---
5) How long is the line? ____ cm
- Line starts at
0 and ends at the
2.5 cm mark.
- Between 2 and 3, halfway → 2.5 cm.
-
Answer: 2.5 cm
---
6) How long is the line? ____ mm
- Ruler in millimeters (0–100 mm).
- Line starts at
0, ends at
55 mm (just after 50, before 60).
-
Answer: 55 mm
---
7) How long is the line? ____ mm
- Starts at
0, ends at
75 mm (between 70 and 80, halfway).
-
Answer: 75 mm
---
8) How many g?
- Scale shows a dial from 0 to 100g.
- The needle points to
30g (between 20 and 40, halfway).
-
Answer: 30 g
---

🔍 Explanation Summary:
- For
measuring jugs: Look at the labeled scale and read the value where the liquid level is.
- For
rulers: Measure from the start (usually 0) to the end of the line, counting whole units and half-units if needed.
- For
balance scales: Read the dial where the pointer stops. Use the numbers and tick marks to estimate accurately.
