figure 3. altimeter
500 feet.
1,500 feet.
10,500 feet

Explanation:

Step1: Read the altimeter scale

The large hand indicates hundreds of feet. Here, it points to 5.

Step2: Consider the multiplier

The small hand (in the inner circle) indicates thousands of feet. Here, it points to 1. So the value is \(1\times1000 + 5\times100=1500\) feet.

1,500 feet.
