Ans:
Question: Which scale helped you measure the length of the screws accurately? Why?
Ans: The scale that is divided into 10 equal parts between each centimeter mark helped measure the screws accurately. This is because it shows each tenth of a centimeter clearly, helping us measure the screw length precisely.
Question: What is the meaning of 2 \( \frac{7}{10} \) cm (the length of the first screw)?
Ans: The number 2 \( \frac{7}{10} \) cm means that the screw is 2 centimeters and 7 parts out of 10 of another centimeter. The ruler is divided into 10 equal parts between each number. So, we count 2 full centimeters and then 7 small parts more. We read it as two and seven-tenth centimeters.
