Read the measurement on the customary rule graduated in 50ths and 100ths as marked by the letter m.
To read the measurement on the customary rule graduated in 50ths and 100ths marked by the letter m, locate the point on the ruler that matches the object's length. Start by identifying the longest inch mark on the ruler (1 inch mark) and count the number of 50ths and 100ths from there. The letter m indicates the mark for every fiftieth and one hundredth on the ruler. For example, if the object's length reaches the 3 inch mark on the ruler, count the number of fiftieths and one hundredths from that point and note the measurement in the format of a whole number, followed by the fraction determined by the markings.
To read the measurement on a customary rule graduated in 50ths and 100ths as marked by the letter "m," follow these steps:
1. Locate the measurement you want to read on the rule.
2. Look for the nearest marking to the left of the zero point on the ruler.
3. Identify whether the marking is in 50ths or 100ths. The letter "m" usually indicates that the markings represent 50ths.
4. Determine the value of the marking. If you are working with 50ths, each tick represents 0.02 inches (1/50th of an inch), and if you are working with 100ths, each tick represents 0.01 inches (1/100th of an inch).
5. Count the number of markings from the leftmost end of the rule up to the marking you want to measure.
6. Multiply the number of markings by the value of each marking to calculate the measurement.
For example, if you want to measure a point that is 3 markings to the right of the zero point on a ruler measured in 50ths with the letter "m" at each marking, the measurement would be 3 markings * 0.02 inches = 0.06 inches.
To read the measurement on a customary rule graduated in 50ths and 100ths as marked by the letter "m," you need to follow these steps:
1. Begin by locating the zero mark on the rule. It is usually denoted by a small line or a number labeled "0".
2. Identify the longest mark or number to the left of the zero mark. This mark represents whole inches.
3. Determine the measurement between the longest mark and the zero mark. Each inch is divided into 16 equal parts on a customary rule, so there will typically be 16 smaller marks or numbers between two whole inch markings. Each of these smaller marks represents 1/16th of an inch.
4. Observe the smaller lines or numbers between the inch marks. If there are additional, shorter lines or smaller numbers between two 1/16th inch marks, it indicates that the inch is further divided. In this case, these shorter lines or numbers indicate either 50ths or 100ths of an inch.
5. Look for the letter "m" marked on the rule to identify the particular lines or numbers that indicate either 50ths or 100ths of an inch. The "m" usually stands for "milli" or "thousandths."
6. Count the number of lines or numbers between the longest mark to the left of the zero and the zero mark itself. Each line or number represents either 50ths or 100ths of an inch, depending on the rule.
7. Add the measurement from step 3 (in inches) with the measurement from step 6 (in either 50ths or 100ths of an inch) to obtain the final measurement.
By following these steps, you will be able to accurately read measurements on a customary rule graduated in 50ths and 100ths as marked by the letter "m".
