What are the scaled measurements?

Do this problem the same way I showed you for finding the scale measurements of your bed.
So 51 1/8÷24= 0.26cm?
And 42 1/2÷24=0.87cm?
And 42 1/2÷24=0.87cm?
Please ask your teacher again about converting feet and inches to centimeters.
It makes no sense to me.

No, 51.125(51 1/8) divided by 24 doesn't equal 0.26cm. Same with 42.5(42 1/2) divided by 24. I believe you are making a mistake with the converting of inches to centimeters.
By changing the fractions into decimals and adding them to the whole numbers, it makes it a lot easier from there. By doing Ms. Sue's way, I got the below answers.
51.125 / 24 = 2.1302083333333333333333333333333 inches = 5.410729166666666 centimeters
42.5 / 24 = 1.7708333333333333333333333333333 inches = 4.497916666666666 centimeters
I hope this helps? :)
P.S. Sorry this is a late post, I was kind of waiting for Ms. Sue to reply, and I was doing some of my own schoolwork.
