Use proportions and a rule of three to solve this problem

1 in ----------------------- 2.54 cm

10 in --------------------- x

x = (10 x 2.54) / 1

x = 25.4/1

x = 25.4 cm

There are 25.4 cm in 10 in

Just look for the factor, the factor between inches and cm is 2.54.

Use a rule of three to find the answer. Use croos multiplication
