1. In this problem, you are measuring the length of a knitting needle by reading the scale at both ends. To find the length of the needle, you subtract the smaller reading from the larger reading.

    In this problem, you are measuring the length of a knitting needle by reading the scale at both ends. To find the length of the needle, you subtract the smaller reading from the larger reading.

    Given:
    Reading at one end = 3.0 cm
    Reading at the other end = 33.1 cm

    To calculate the length of the needle, use the formula:

    Length of the needle = Reading at the other end – Reading at one end

    Substitute the given values into the formula:

    Length of the needle = 33.1 cm – 3.0 cm
    Length of the needle = 30.1 cm

    Therefore, the length of the knitting needle is 30.1 centimeters.

    Both a bicycle’s wheels and a ceiling fan’s blades move in circular motions. However, a bicycle requires a rider’s force to move forward, while a fan relies on electricity to rotate. The bicycle is for transportation, needing a surface to move, while the ceiling fan remains fixed, used for circulating air in a room.
