Typically the smallest lines are a sixteenth of an inch apart. Some rulers may show thirty-seconds or sixty-fourths of an inch.
If the lines are on the opposite side of the inches on the ruler, then yes. You must keep in mind, however, that a ruler is used for inches and that the centimeters may not be marked.
you read a ruler by conting the little lines first
Ah, finding 0.59 inches on a ruler is like finding a happy little tree in a beautiful forest. Just locate the half-inch mark, then count nine little lines beyond that. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy accidents. Happy measuring!
Centimeters:)
Oh, dude, 5.51 inches on a ruler is like... well, it's 5.51 inches in from the start, obviously. Just look for the little lines and numbers, they're there for a reason. It's not rocket science... unless you're measuring a rocket, I guess.

They are called millimeter lines.

I thing 5.
I believe they are called graduations
A standard metric ruler is just slightly longer than 30 centimetres and slightly longer than 12 inches.The "slightly longer" is for the extra bits of ruler that stick out in front of the 0 (zero) cm/in at the beginning of the ruler and behind the 30 cm/12 in mark at the end of the ruler

Usually just marks or lines. Depending which large lines you are talking about, they could be inches, centimeters, feet, decimeters, yards, or meters.
See if you can find a part of the ruler where there are 9 little marks between the inch divisions: that section of the ruler may be marked as "10ths" or "TENTHS". Each of the gaps between these marks is 0.1 inch so you want 8 gaps.
Where is 0.71 inches on the ruler
