spacing in this book was generally done in units of points and picas: 12 points = 1 pica, and 6 picas = 1 inch. if a figure was misplaced in the page proofs by 0.80 cm, what was the misplacement in [a] picas and [b] points?
If y=kx is divided by k, then y/k=kx/k, that is, y/k=x. By the
symmetric property of equality, if a=b, then b=a. In our case, this
means that if y/k=x, then x=y/k. In other words, one deduced x=y/k.
Thus, the Property (1) holds true: if y=kx, then x=y/k. A well-known
Formula (2) states that in=2.54*cm. Imagine that y is measured in
inches (in), x is measured in centimeters (cm). Applying Property (1)
to Formula (2) one gets cm=in /2.54=0.39370079 in. Then 0.8 cm=0.8
in/2.54=0.8*0.39370079 in.

I did not understand how 0.8 cm=0.8/2.54 inches............. i know
that 1cm= 0.3937 inches............From where this 2.54 came? plz tell
me
