The proportional relashionship 15.24 centimeters in 6 inches is represented by 6y=15.24x determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch
To determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch, we can solve the equation 6y = 15.24x for when x = 1 (since x represents inches).
When x = 1:
6y = 15.24(1)
6y = 15.24
y = 15.24 / 6
y ≈ 2.54
Therefore, there are approximately 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
6 * number of cm = 15.24 * number of inches
so if number of inches is 1
number of cm = (15.24 / 6 ) * 1 = 2.54 cm
