🔍 Key Concepts

• How to read the sleeve scale on an inch micrometer (0.100-inch and 0.025-inch marks) • How to read the thimble scale in thousandths of an inch and add it to the sleeve reading • Matching the total reading to the nearest value in the answer choices

💭 Think About

• First, decide how many full tenths (0.1 inch) are clearly visible on the sleeve to the left of the thimble edge. What base value does that give you? • Next, determine whether any additional 0.025-inch increment on the sleeve is exposed beyond the last full tenth. How does that change your base value? • Then, find which thimble line is exactly aligned with the sleeve reference line. Convert that to thousandths of an inch and add it to your sleeve reading. Which answer choice matches this total?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure the thimble edge never counts a mark that is partly covered; only count marks that are fully visible to the left of the thimble. • Confirm you understand how many thousandths of an inch each thimble division represents on this micrometer. • After adding sleeve + 0.025 increment (if any) + thimble reading, compare your result to the choices and check that it is within 0.001 inch of one of them.
