Question

You are a medical assistant in a pediatrician’s office and one of your responsibilities is evaluating the growth of newborns and infants. Your first patient, a baby girl named Ivy Smith, was 21.5 inches long at 3 months old. At 8 months, you measure her at 24 inches long. For your medical records, all measurements must be given both in inches and in centimeters: 1 inch = 2.54 cm
I need to come up with an equation for this.

Answer 1

24 - 21.5 = 2.5 x 2.54 = 6.35 cm
