Yo u can use a ruler to measure an object
to the nearest inch, nearest half inch,
and nearest quarter inch.
To the nearest inch, the straw is
about 5 in. long.
To the nearest half inch, the straw is
about 4^12 in. long.
To the nearest quarter inch, the straw is
about 4^34 in. long.
When you measure length, align the object
you are measuring with the beginning of the ruler.
Think
Each inch on the
ruler is divided into
2 half inches and
4 quarter inches.
