The proportional relationship 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 need to solve for x when y=1.
We have:
6y = 15.24x
Substituting y=1, we have:
6(1) = 15.24x
6 = 15.24x
Dividing both sides by 15.24, we get:
x = 6/15.24
x ≈ 0.3937
Therefore, there are approximately 0.3937 centimeters in 1 inch.
