Let x be the number of meters of a given number of inches. The equation that would be useful in the conversion is,
                               x = n / 39.37
where n is the number of inches. For 59 inches,
                              x = 59 in / 39.37
Thus, the number of meter is approximately equal to 1.499 meters. 

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x}{39.37}[/tex]

f(59) = 1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

1 meter = 39.37 inches,

⇒ 1 inch = [tex]\frac{1}{39.37}[/tex] meter,

⇒ x inches = [tex]\frac{x}{39.37}[/tex] meters,

If f(x) represents the number of meters in x inches,

[tex]\implies f(x) = \frac{x}{39.37}[/tex]

Which is the required function.

If x = 59,

[tex]f(59)=\frac{59}{39.37}=1.49860299721\approx 1.50[/tex]
