The proportional relationship 15.24 centimeters in 6 inches is represented by 6y=15.24x. Determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch.(1 point) Responses 91.44 centimeters 91.44 centimeters 0.39 centimeters 0.39 centimeters 2.54 centimeters 2.54 centimeters 3 centimeters 3 centimeters
To find the number of centimeters in 1 inch, we can substitute x = 1 into the equation 6y = 15.24x:
6y = 15.24(1)
6y = 15.24
Dividing both sides by 6, we get:
y = 15.24/6 = 2.54
Therefore, the number of centimeters in 1 inch is 2.54 centimeters.
