Every question answers with a count or a spot on the ruler, so the fractions are positions to read rather than sums to work. That keeps the page on the skill it is for: finding 1½ on a ruler that also shows 1¼ and 1¾, and knowing which stacks are to the right of it.
“Longer than” is the question that catches people, because it asks for every stack to the right and none of the one that was named. Empty positions are part of the picture as well. A length nobody measured is a fact about the data, and it still counts as a place on the ruler.
