Explanation:
As per the measurements that are made by the student are as follows.
21.6 cm is equivalent to 8.5 inch
Therefore, 1 cm for the given situation will be equivalent to inch as follows.
1 cm = [tex]\frac{8.5}{21.6}[/tex] inch
= 0.393 inch
Hence, we will calculate the ratio of cm : inch as follows.
Ratio of cm : inch = [tex]\frac{8.5}{21.6}[/tex]
= 0.39
Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of cm/inch using the students data is 0.39.
