I would say that if the ones add up to 10 or more, they will regroup and put a 1 above the tens column to show the 10
If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.
While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is <em>nonsensical</em> to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.
So, we're down to the second choice:
- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.
_____
To find the pattern in the table, you can ...
- observe that the inch values differ by 1
- observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
- realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.

Answer:
The required inequality is: 12 ≤ 3x < 21
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given: three times a number is greater than or equal to 12 and less than 21
We need to answer following questions:
1) The inequality translated in numerical form
Let number = x
12 ≤ 3x < 21
2) Your work solving the inequality
We need to find value of x. Divide the inequality by x
4 ≤ x < 7
3) The solution graphed on a number line
It is shown in figure attached.
4) The solution in set notation
The set notation is: Considering x belongs to natural numbers N
{∀ x|x∈N, 4 ≤ x < 7}
5) The solution in interval notation
The interval notation is: [4,7)
because we have 4 less than equal to x and x is less than 7
