Explanation:

Step1: Read imperial first mark

The arrow points to $2\frac{1}{2}''$ (given as example, confirmed by ruler marks: 2 full inches + 4/8 = 1/2 inch).

Step2: Read imperial second mark

Arrow aligns with 3 inches + 1/8 inch: $3\frac{1}{8}''$

Step3: Read imperial third mark

Arrow aligns with 4 inches + 5/8 inch: $4\frac{5}{8}''$

Step4: Read imperial fourth mark

Arrow aligns with 6 inches + 1/4 inch: $6\frac{1}{4}''$

Step5: Read metric first blank mark

Arrow aligns with 4 cm mark: $4\ \text{cm}$

Step6: Read metric second blank mark

Arrow aligns with 10 cm mark: $10\ \text{cm}$

Step7: Read metric third blank mark

Arrow aligns with 15 cm mark: $15\ \text{cm}$

Answer:

Imperial (top row, left to right): $2\frac{1}{2}''$, $3\frac{1}{8}''$, $4\frac{5}{8}''$, $6\frac{1}{4}''$
Metric (bottom row, left to right): $4\ \text{cm}$, $10\ \text{cm}$, $15\ \text{cm}$
