December Math II Height/Width Chart

<p>For the question with the chart of the height/width ratio or whatever, the data was all in inches…</p>

<p>But for one of the questions it asked for the width it was the mean ratio in CENTIMETERS.</p>

<p>Anyone else notice this? I just left it blank because I didn’t know the conversion.</p>

<p>I do not remember seeing centimeters anywhere in that question. Furthermore, if there was a conversion from inches to centimeters involved, there would almost certainly be a conversion formula.</p>

<p>That question was easy you had to find the mean and and do a little proportion thingy to find the height. Not posting the answer yet because of ppl testing</p>

<p>Yes they asked about centimeters!!! That was really mean. It took me like 5 mins to figure out how to solve it and then 5 more to convert…
1 inch = 2.54 cm by the way</p>

<p>No way…if I get it wrong because of centimeters…</p>

<p>The answer was something like 192, right?
And they gave that 1 inch = 2.54 cm, btw…there was no guesswork involved.</p>

<p>Yeah it was 192. They didn’t give that formula tho.</p>

<p>So we were supposed to know the conversion? QQ</p>

<p>OH **** … that part had 2 questions? did both ask for CM’s?</p>

<p>No, the first one was just asking about the median.
But it was weird they expected us to know the convertion. I think it’s actually a function of our calculators to convert between measuring systems…</p>

<p>if you converted between cm and inch u did it wrong.</p>

<p>It was supposed to be a proportion, I believe. w/h
w/h would be the same for centimeters or inches. 2 inches width and 4 inches height is the same as 5.1 cm width and 10.2 cm width for example.</p>

<p>I may be wrong though.</p>

<p>You DID NOT need to convert anything. W/H was a proportion at @schill22 said. Therefore, you did not need to convert to other units since W/H has no units.</p>

<p>Yeah, at first I thought I had to convert to cm but all the answer choices were cm as well, so you didn’t have to.</p>
