🔍 Key Concepts

• Identify the main scale reading just to the left of the zero on the vernier for figure "B" • Determine the vernier scale division that lines up exactly with a main-scale division • Remember that on this style of caliper, the vernier divisions typically represent thousandths of an inch (0.001 in) or similar small increments

💭 Think About

• First, what whole inches and tenths of an inch can you clearly see on the main scale to the left of the vernier zero for figure "B"? • Next, which vernier mark (number on the lower scale) lines up best with a mark on the upper (main) scale? How many thousandths does that add? • Compare your result with the answer choices: which one matches the combination of your main-scale reading plus vernier reading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are looking at figure "B" only, not A, C, D, E, or F • Confirm the last clearly visible main-scale line to the left of the vernier zero; do not use any line to the right of the zero for the base reading • Verify that the vernier line-up you choose is the one that is exactly aligned, not just close or slightly offset
