Design a ruler which can be used to measure all the lenghts from 1 unit to 12 units but this time
put the minimum possible number of marks on the ruler.
Solution
You need at least four marks:
Suppose you had only three marks, located at A inches, A+B inches, and A+B+C inches from
the left edge of the ruler (and that A+B+C+D=12)
Then the possible lengths that could be made would be:
A, B, C, D, A+B, B+C, C+D, A+B+C, B+C+D, A+B+C+D
There are only 10 numbers here, so even if they were all distinct, you couldn't make all the
numbers 1-12
You need no more than four marks:
Put marks at the 1,3,5,11
-|--|--|------|-
1: 1 mark
2: space from 1 to 3
3: 3 mark
4: space from 1 to 5
5: 5 mark
6: space from 5 to 11
7: space from 5 to 12 (edge of ruler)
8: space from 3 to 11
9: space from 3 to 12
10: space from 1 to 11
11: mark at 11
12: whole ruler
Thus, the minimum number of marks needed to be able to make each of the lengths from 1 to 12
is four

Design a ruler which can be used to measure all the lenghts from 1 u.pdf

  • 1. Design a ruler which can be used to measure all the lenghts from 1 unit to 12 units but this time put the minimum possible number of marks on the ruler. Solution You need at least four marks: Suppose you had only three marks, located at A inches, A+B inches, and A+B+C inches from the left edge of the ruler (and that A+B+C+D=12) Then the possible lengths that could be made would be: A, B, C, D, A+B, B+C, C+D, A+B+C, B+C+D, A+B+C+D There are only 10 numbers here, so even if they were all distinct, you couldn't make all the numbers 1-12 You need no more than four marks: Put marks at the 1,3,5,11 -|--|--|------|- 1: 1 mark 2: space from 1 to 3 3: 3 mark 4: space from 1 to 5 5: 5 mark 6: space from 5 to 11 7: space from 5 to 12 (edge of ruler) 8: space from 3 to 11 9: space from 3 to 12 10: space from 1 to 11 11: mark at 11 12: whole ruler Thus, the minimum number of marks needed to be able to make each of the lengths from 1 to 12 is four
