Measuring to the nearest centimeter

An example figure from the Length Reading Generator.

A 15 cm ruler marked only every centimeter with a row of four marbles lying along it from 0 to 6 cm — A 15 cm ruler marked and numbered every centimeter, with no millimeter marks, and a row of four marbles lying along it from 0. Dashed lines drop from the row’s ends to the ruler, and its right end is on the 6 cm mark. There is no magnifier, so students read it from the whole ruler.
