Question

The equation   can be used to determine the number of centimeters, y, in a given number of inches, x. The equation was used to fill in the table below. Inches in Centimeters Number of Inches Number of Centimeters 2 5.08 10 25.4   63.5 40 101.6 What value is missing from the table?

hope this helps :))

Answer 2

25 Inches

Explanation:

Given the table:

`\left|\begin{array}c\text{Number of Inches}&2&10&&40\\\text{Number of Centimeters}&5.08&25.04&63.5&101.6\end{array}\right|`

We want to determine the missing value on the table.

Let the missing value be x.

1 inch = 2.54 cm

x inch = 63.5

Expressing the above as a ratio

`(1)/(x)=(2.54)/(63.5) \\$Cross Multiply$\\2.54x=63.5\\$Divide both sides by 2.54$\\x=25 \:Inches`

Therefore, the missing value is 25.
