Solution :(i) Express1 m.s.din thedifferent portions ofthescale as a fraction of an INCH andconvertinto cm . Countthe totalnumber of divisions andconvert into cm toarrive at thelengthofobject in cm. Alternately FIND thelengthin inches and convert into cm
(II) Countthenumberof M.S.D. 's fromleftblockto2 say x
`1 M.S.D. =(1)/(16) inch`
Countthe numberof M.S.D.'s from2 to rightblocksay y
here ` 1 M.S.D.=(1)/(8)`inch
Lengthof the object`=(x xx (1)/(16) +yxx(1)/(8) ) `inch `=((x+2y)/(16))` inch
Convert this value tocm
(III) 5.87 cm
