To determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch using the coordinates given (4, 10.16), we need to understand what these coordinates represent. Typically, in a graph comparing inches to centimeters, the x-coordinate would represent inches and the y-coordinate would represent centimeters.
From the point (4, 10.16):
- The x-coordinate (4) indicates that 4 inches corresponds to the y-coordinate (10.16) in centimeters.
To find the number of centimeters in 1 inch, we can set up a proportion based on the information provided:
\[ 4 \text{ inches} = 10.16 \text{ centimeters} \]
To find the number of centimeters in 1 inch, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
\[ 1 \text{ inch} = \frac{10.16 \text{ centimeters}}{4} \]
Calculating this gives us:
\[ 1 \text{ inch} \approx 2.54 \text{ centimeters} \]
So, there are approximately 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
