🔍 Key Concepts

• How to read a 0–1 inch micrometer: add the sleeve reading (0.025 in per line) plus the thimble reading (0.001 in per division). • How a Vernier scale on a micrometer adds ten‑thousandths (0.0001 in) by finding the exact line that lines up. • Distinguishing between the last fully visible sleeve line and the partially covered one right at the edge of the thimble.

💭 Think About

• First, what is the value on the sleeve just to the left of the thimble edge (including any extra 0.025 increment past the 0.200 mark)? • Next, which thimble graduation (0–24) lines up exactly with the horizontal reference line on the sleeve, and what thousandths value does that represent? • Finally, which Vernier graduation on the sleeve lines up perfectly with a thimble line to give you the ten‑thousandths place?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are not counting any sleeve line that is even slightly covered by the thimble. • Confirm which single thimble line is in perfect alignment with the sleeve reference line; ignore ones that are close but not exact. • Verify that the final number has the format 0.2XXX in, based on the clearly visible sleeve reading before adding thousandths and ten‑thousandths.
