🔍 Key Concepts

• Reading the main scale on a vernier caliper (whole inches and tenths) • Finding which vernier division lines up exactly with a main scale mark to get the thousandths • Combining main scale + vernier readings to form the final measurement

💭 Think About

• First, look at figure C: What is the last whole inch mark that lies completely to the left of the vernier zero? Which answer choices match that inch value? • Next, estimate how many additional tenths of an inch the vernier zero has passed on the main scale (e.g., about .0, .3, .7, or close to 1.0). Which answers now seem unlikely? • Finally, which vernier line (numbered 0–25) is perfectly aligned with a main-scale line? If each division is 0.001 inch, what thousandths value should you add to your main-scale reading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure the whole inch value comes only from the main scale to the left of the vernier zero. • Confirm which single vernier line aligns best; ignore near‑misses. • Verify that the calculated value’s first digit after the decimal point matches what you see for the tenths on the main scale.
