Knit your sample swatch, usually a little over four inches by four inches. Lay your gauge ruler on top of your fabric. There's an "L" shaped cut-out in the ruler. Usually it is two inches by two inches. Count the number of stitches you can see across, and then up and down. Divide each number by two (if the gauge ruler is two inches) to find the gauge of your knitting.
It is more accurate to measure across four inches instead of two. You can use a regular ruler or tape measure to do this. Then divide the number of stitches in four inches by the number four to get the number of stitches per inch.
You look at the markings on its edge.
To read a 50th inch ruler, first identify the smallest unit of measurement, which is typically the smallest mark between the inches. Each inch is divided into 50 equal parts, so each mark represents 1/50th of an inch. Count the number of marks from the 0 inch mark to your desired measurement. For precision, ensure you align the object accurately with the ruler for an accurate reading.

That depends on the ruler. If you refer to a 1 foot ruler, divided in inches and sub-inch divisions, then 0.39 inch is a more than a quarter inch, and less than a half inch.
To read 4.875 inches on a ruler, first locate the 4-inch mark. Then, move to the next mark, which is the 5-inch mark, and divide the space between these two marks into tenths. Count 7/8 of the way from the 4-inch mark, which is 0.875 inches, placing you at the 4.875-inch mark.
Five eighths of an inch on a ruler would be located between the half-inch mark and the three-quarter inch mark.
