I need help deciphering torque specifications?!

I need help deciphering torque specifications. Can someone explain the specifications in the two attached pictures?

Newton-meters (Nm) and foot-pounds (ft/lbs) are the metric and imperial measures for torque, which measures the way in which a force turns an object around an axis.

One foot-pound (ft/lb) is equal to 1.356 newton-meters (Nm). To convert newton-meters (Nm) to foot-pounds (ft/lbs) all you need to do is divide your figure (Nm) by 1.356.

I understand what torque is and the measurement but I can’t read the specifications in the illustrations. If deciphered I’m sure I’ll catch on.

First drawing torque range is .5 to 1.5 Nm or 5 to 13 inch pounds
Second drawing torque range is 1.5 to 2 Nm or 13-17 inch pounds

Thank you but after some effort I realize I’m denser than I thought. On the first drawing I’m deducing that the range is from the smaller number 1- 0.5 = 0.5 to the larger number 1+ 0.5 = 1.5Nm and the second part is between 9-4=5 foot pounds to 9+4=13 foot pounds.

If I apply the same formula to the second drawing it would read 0.55-0.15=0.40inch foot pounds to 0.55+0.15=0.70 inch foot pounds but that doesn’t match your reading of 1.5 to 2 inch pounds and between 13 to 17 inch pounds. Where am I making my mistake?

I go it a light came on!

Just saw this and was going to say that the torque they are asking for is 1 Newton meter with a range of plus or minus .5 Newton meters.
