Answer
Draw a line L on the paper and mark a point $A$ on it. Take a compass and place its metal point at zero mark of the ruler. Adjust the compass such that the pencil point is at $4.8\ cm$ mark on the ruler. Now, take the compass to L such that its metal point is on point A. Mark a small mark at $B$ on $L$ corresponding to the pencil point of the compass. $AB$ is the required line segment of $4.8\ cm.$
