1 answer

The equation 6y = 15.24x represents a proportional relationship, where y represents the number of centimeters and x represents the number of inches.

To find the number of centimeters in 1 inch, we substitute x = 1 into the equation:

6y = 15.24(1)
6y = 15.24
y = 15.24/6
y = 2.54

Therefore, the number of centimeters in 1 inch is 2.54 centimeters.
