Question

Use the graph to determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch


there are blank centimeters in 1 inch

the dot is at 4,10.16

Answer 1

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**.
