To find out how many centimeters are in 1 inch, we can look at the existing conversions in the table.
From the table:
- 5 inches = 12.7 centimeters
- 4 inches = 10.16 centimeters
- 3 inches = 7.62 centimeters
- 2 inches = 5.08 centimeters
If we take the conversion from 5 inches to centimeters:
1 inch is calculated by dividing the number of centimeters by the number of inches:
\[ \frac{12.7 \text{ cm}}{5 \text{ in}} = 2.54 \text{ cm/in} \]
Thus, there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
The correct response is: 2.54 centimeters.
