You are converting the argument X from degrees to radians before passing it to the SIN function but you are using
it as is - *in degrees* in 1/X.

This makes no sense at all.

99% of the time I would agree with you. In this case, it would
depend on who asked the question. As a homework problem, I don't
see anything wrong with asking for sin(x)/x with x in degrees,
but it would be unusual anywhere else.
