Problem Analysis:
The task involves measuring the length of each pencil in centimeters using a ruler and then answering questions about the shortest pencil and two pencils of the same length.
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### 1. Measure Each Pencil:
We need to measure the length of each pencil by aligning it with the ruler and noting where the tip of the pencil aligns with the ruler's markings.
#####
Pencil 1:
- The pencil starts at the 0 cm mark.
- The tip of the pencil aligns with the 15 cm mark.
-
Length: 15 cm
#####
Pencil 2:
- The pencil starts at the 0 cm mark.
- The tip of the pencil aligns with the 14 cm mark.
-
Length: 14 cm
#####
Pencil 3:
- The pencil starts at the 0 cm mark.
- The tip of the pencil aligns with the 10 cm mark.
-
Length: 10 cm
#####
Pencil 4:
- The pencil starts at the 0 cm mark.
- The tip of the pencil aligns with the 12 cm mark.
-
Length: 12 cm
#####
Pencil 5:
- The pencil starts at the 0 cm mark.
- The tip of the pencil aligns with the 10 cm mark.
-
Length: 10 cm
#### 2. Record the Lengths:
- Pencil 1: 15 cm
- Pencil 2: 14 cm
- Pencil 3: 10 cm
- Pencil 4: 12 cm
- Pencil 5: 10 cm
#### 3. Identify the Shortest Pencil:
- Compare the lengths: 15 cm, 14 cm, 10 cm, 12 cm, 10 cm.
- The shortest length is
10 cm.
-
Shortest pencil: 10 cm
#### 4. Identify Two Pencils of the Same Length:
- From the measurements, Pencil 3 and Pencil 5 both have a length of
10 cm.
-
Two pencils of the same length: 10 cm
Final Answers:
1.
Length of each pencil:
- Pencil 1: 15 cm
- Pencil 2: 14 cm
- Pencil 3: 10 cm
- Pencil 4: 12 cm
- Pencil 5: 10 cm
2.
The shortest pencil is:
\boxed{10}
3.
There are two pencils that are:
\boxed{10}
