Explanation:

Step1: Identify base value per number

Each numbered marker (1-26) aligns with a labeled pressure, and each small line = 2 mm Hg.

Step2: Calculate each reading

Match number to base, add lines×2 if needed.

1. Number 1 aligns with 20: $20$
2. Number 2 aligns with 20 + 4×2: $20 + 8 = 28$
3. Number 3 aligns with 40: $40$
4. Number 4 aligns with 40 + 4×2: $40 + 8 = 48$
5. Number 5 aligns with 60: $60$
6. Number 6 aligns with 60 + 4×2: $60 + 8 = 68$
7. Number 7 aligns with 80: $80$
8. Number 8 aligns with 80 + 4×2: $80 + 8 = 88$

11. Number 11 aligns with 120: $120$
12. Number 12 aligns with 120 + 4×2: $120 + 8 = 128$
13. Number 13 aligns with 120 + 6×2: $120 + 12 = 132$
14. Number 14 aligns with 140: $140$
