Spacing in this book was generally done ...

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 0.70 cm, what was the misplacement in (a) picas and (b) points?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) 1.7 picas, (b) 20 points
