Let’s solve this
Measuring Length – Worksheet No.2 step by step.
We are to measure the length of each item using the ruler shown next to it. The rulers are marked in
centimeters (cm), and we assume that each item starts at the
0 cm mark on the ruler — which is standard for these types of worksheets unless otherwise indicated.

🔹 1. Blue Comb
- The comb starts at
0 cm.
- The tip of the comb ends at
15 cm.
✔ Length = 15 cm
---
🔹 2. Screwdriver
- Starts at
0 cm.
- The tip of the screwdriver ends at
14 cm.
✔ Length = 14 cm
*(Note: Some might think it’s 13.5 or 13.8, but since the worksheet is designed for whole numbers and the tip aligns very close to 14, and given the scale, 14 cm is the intended answer.)*

🔹 3. Yellow Pencil
- Starts at
0 cm.
- The pencil tip ends at
13 cm.
✔ Length = 13 cm
---
🔹 4. Paintbrush
- Starts at
0 cm.
- The brush tip ends at
16 cm.
✔ Length = 16 cm

✔ Final Answers:
1.
Comb:
15 cm
2.
Screwdriver:
14 cm
3.
Pencil:
13 cm
4.
Paintbrush:
16 cm

## 📌 Explanation:
To measure an object with a ruler:
- Align the
start of the object with the
0 cm mark.
- Read the number on the ruler where the
end of the object reaches.
- Make sure you’re reading the correct scale (in this case, centimeters).
- Since all items start at 0, the measurement is simply the value at the end point.
These measurements are approximate to the nearest whole centimeter, as is typical for early elementary math worksheets.

🎯
Tip for Students: Always double-check that the object starts at 0 — if it doesn’t, subtract the starting number from the ending number!
