Each of those lines represents 1 centimetre, with the number tell you how man centimetres between that line and the first line (either unlabelled, or labelled 0).
Between those line there may be 10 little lines with the fifth one longer than the rest, but shorter than the labelled lines. These are millimetres, which are also 0.1 cm each.

What do the lines on a metric ruler represent?
The shorter lines represent one millimeter (mm). The longer lines with numbers next to them represent one centimeter (cm) (10 millmeters) High precision calculation for life or science: keisan dot casio dot com
What do you draw straight lines with?
you draw straight lines with a ruler
How do you finds the length of each segment?
Ruler/Walking ruler thingy
What should you use to find the length of a pencil?
The easy way to find the length of a pencil is to use a ruler to measure it. A "small" ruler might not make it, but a "regular" one foot ruler will do the job nicely.
How do you draw intersecting lines with out perpendicular lines?
using a ruler, draw any two lines that cross each other

What does the numbers after the 1 indicate on a ruler?
A length of two units!
What do the lines on a inch ruler represent?
On a typical inch ruler the smallest lines are 1/16th dimensions. The next biggest are 1/8th", then 1/4", and finally 1/2".
What is the function of a meter ruler?
It measures length, and it also helps you draw straight lines
What do the smallest lines on the metric ruler represent?
something like texture, color, smell, sound and taste
Why are lines of latitude different depending on their location?
The question is somewhat vague, but I think you may be asking: Why are different lines of latitude marked with different numbers ? I'd compare that to the question: Why are different marks on the ruler marked with different numbers ? The reason is because both of them are systems invented to help you measure things. The marks on the ruler help you estimate the length of things that you place the ruler on, by showing you where a few exact lengths are. And the horizontal lines on a map or globe help you estimate the latitude of places on the Earth, by showing you where a few exact latitudes are.
Where is a Millimetre on a ruler?
there should be the cm lines- the long ones with the numbers underneath. Inbetween these should be a series of shorter lines indicating the millimetres.
What is the average length of a ruler?
The average length of a ruler is 12 inches.
How can you measure a hexagon with no protractor or ruler?
Measuring implies using a measuring device of some kind. If you mean to construct a hexagon without a protractor or ruler, that's different. Constructions in geometry require only a compass and a straightedge (a ruler, but you ignore the numbers). A hexagon can be made of 6 equilateral triangles; choose any length for the side and construct them connected together, using only the compass to set the length and the straightedge to draw straight lines between points.
Why are the division lines on a ruler different lengths?
why are the division lines on a ruler diffrent lengths
What is the difference between millimeters and centimeters on a ruler?
There are 10 milimeters in 1 centimetre. The numbers on a ruler are usually centimeters. The little un-numbered lines that divide up the centimeters mark the milimeters.
What is the tool of length?
the tool of length is a RULER!
