Question

1. label the following measurements (a–f) on the measuring tape with an arrow and the letter of the question. two examples have been done for you.

x. 37 ½\ty. 1.01m
a. 39⅛ in.\td. 93 cm
b. 3 ft. 4¾ in.\te. 0.992 m
c. 3.5 ft.\tf. 107.5 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Convert units to match scales

For inch/ft top scale:

• a. $39\frac{1}{8} = 39.125$ in.
• b. $3\text{ ft} = 36\text{ in}$, so $36 + 4.75 = 40.75$ in.
• c. $3.5\text{ ft} = 3.5\times12 = 42$ in.

For cm/m bottom scale:

• d. 93 cm = 93 cm
• e. $0.992\text{ m} = 0.992\times100 = 99.2$ cm
• f. 107.5 cm = 107.5 cm

Step2: Match values to tape marks

• a aligns with 39.125 on top scale
• b aligns with 40.75 on top scale
• c aligns with 42 on top scale
• d aligns with 93 on bottom scale
• e aligns with 99.2 on bottom scale
• f aligns with 107.5 on bottom scale

Answer:

• a. $39\frac{1}{8}$ in. → Arrow pointing to 39.125 on the top (inch) scale
• b. 3 ft. $4\frac{3}{4}$ in. → Arrow pointing to 40.75 on the top (inch) scale
• c. 3.5 ft. → Arrow pointing to 42 on the top (inch) scale
• d. 93 cm → Arrow pointing to 93 on the bottom (cm) scale
• e. 0.992 m → Arrow pointing to 99.2 on the bottom (cm) scale
• f. 107.5 cm → Arrow pointing to 107.5 on the bottom (cm) scale
