Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Reading From the Triple Beam Balance
The task involves reading measurements from a ruler with millimeter precision. Each image shows two rulers: one for centimeters (top) and one for millimeters (bottom). The goal is to determine the length of the black bar by noting where it starts and ends on the rulers.

Key Points:


1. Top Ruler (Centimeters): This ruler is marked in increments of 10 mm (or 1 cm).
2. Bottom Ruler (Millimeters): This ruler is marked in increments of 1 mm, providing more precise measurements.
3. Reading the Measurement:
- Identify the starting point of the black bar on both rulers.
- Identify the ending point of the black bar on both rulers.
- Subtract the starting point from the ending point to get the length.
- Use the bottom ruler (millimeter ruler) for the most precise measurement.

Solution for Each Image:



#### Image 1 (Top Left)
- Starting Point: Top ruler shows 0 cm, bottom ruler shows 0 mm.
- Ending Point: Top ruler shows 2 cm, bottom ruler shows 25 mm.
- Length: \( 25 \, \text{mm} \)
- Answer: 0.025

#### Image 2 (Middle Left)
- Starting Point: Top ruler shows 2 cm, bottom ruler shows 20 mm.
- Ending Point: Top ruler shows 3 cm, bottom ruler shows 34 mm.
- Length: \( 34 - 20 = 14 \, \text{mm} \)
- Answer: 0.014

#### Image 3 (Bottom Left)
- Starting Point: Top ruler shows 2 cm, bottom ruler shows 20 mm.
- Ending Point: Top ruler shows 3 cm, bottom ruler shows 38 mm.
- Length: \( 38 - 20 = 18 \, \text{mm} \)
- Answer: 0.018

#### Image 4 (Top Right)
- Starting Point: Top ruler shows 2 cm, bottom ruler shows 20 mm.
- Ending Point: Top ruler shows 3 cm, bottom ruler shows 32 mm.
- Length: \( 32 - 20 = 12 \, \text{mm} \)
- Answer: 0.012

#### Image 5 (Middle Right)
- Starting Point: Top ruler shows 3 cm, bottom ruler shows 30 mm.
- Ending Point: Top ruler shows 4 cm, bottom ruler shows 46 mm.
- Length: \( 46 - 30 = 16 \, \text{mm} \)
- Answer: 0.016

#### Image 6 (Bottom Right)
- Starting Point: Top ruler shows 2 cm, bottom ruler shows 20 mm.
- Ending Point: Top ruler shows 3 cm, bottom ruler shows 36 mm.
- Length: \( 36 - 20 = 16 \, \text{mm} \)
- Answer: 0.016

Final Answers:


1. 0.025
2. 0.014
3. 0.018
4. 0.012
5. 0.016
6. 0.016

Boxed Final Answer:


\[
\boxed{0.025, 0.014, 0.018, 0.012, 0.016, 0.016}
\]
