To find the average height of the students in the class, add up all the heights and then divide by the total number of students.
49 + 49 + 50 + 52 + 53 + 57 + 59 + 60 = 429
Now, divide 429 by 8 (the total number of students) to find the average height:
429 / 8 = 53.625
Therefore, the average height of the students in this class is 53.63 inches.
