Ok, on your ruler in between the inches are some little lines. The longish one in the centre is half an inch, the 2 slightly shorter one halfway between are the quarter inches and (as I am without a ruler to hand) you should be able to check the measurements that you need.
I hope this isn't as 'clear as mud'.
Us older ones have the same trouble with cm.

you can find a conversion chart here so 6 and 5/8th inches needs to be changed from a fraction to decimal and would be 6.625 inches. Put this in the conversion chart and it gives you 16.8275 cm. 4 and 3/4ins would be 4.75 inches converted to 12.065 cm. Hope this helps
