It's very easy, it's depending mainly on converting a mathematical unit:

When 1 Cm = 0.0328084 Ft
So, we assume that:
in 1 year → it grows 3.38 Ft

So X(years)→ 0.0328084

∴X(years) = 0.0328084 * 3.38 = 0.0097 year

We have to convert this unit form years to days by:

1 year = 365 days
So, 0.0097 = X (days)
∴X(days)= 365 * 0.0097 = 3.5 days

So it will take 3.5 days to grow up
