Question

first point (0, 0) second point (1, 2.54) third point (2, 5.08) fourth point
(3, 7.62) fifth point (4, 10.16)

Answer 1

To determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch, you can simply observe the points given. Each point represents a conversion from inches to centimeters.

• The second point (1, 2.54) indicates that 1 inch corresponds to 2.54 centimeters.
• Each subsequent point confirms this conversion, where:
  • 2 inches = 5.08 cm (2 times 2.54)
  • 3 inches = 7.62 cm (3 times 2.54)
  • 4 inches = 10.16 cm (4 times 2.54)

Thus, the number of centimeters in 1 inch is 2.54 cm.
