Grace, Abigail, and Benjamin are working on a project together. They need to measure some distances accurately. What is the difference between using an engineering scale and a regular ruler for this task?

• An engineering scale is made of metal, while a regular ruler is made of plastic.

• An engineering scale is used for measuring angles, while a regular ruler is used for measuring length.

• An engineering scale has multiple scales on each edge, while a regular ruler typically has only one scale.

• An engineering scale is longer than a regular ruler.

Anika is using an engineering scale to measure the length of a wooden plank. How should she read the measurement?

• Align the zero mark with the other end of the plank and read the measurement at the zero mark.

• Align the zero mark with the middle of the plank and read the measurement at the other end.

• Align the zero mark with one end of the plank and read the measurement at the zero mark.

• Align the zero mark with one end of the plank and read the measurement at the other end.
