The average height of the students in this class is calculated by adding up all the heights and then dividing by the total number of students:
49 + 49 + 50 + 52 + 53 + 57 + 59 + 60 = 429
Now divide by 8 (total number of students):
429 / 8 = 53.625
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the average height of students in this class is 53.63 inches.
Therefore, the correct response is 53.6 inches.
