Answer: 4.7 cm

Explanation:

Because

1.5mm =0.15 cm ,

so both covers together would be 0.3 cm , subtract that from 5 cm,i.e.,

5 -0.3 = 4.7 cma book has two covers one at front and at back

so 1.5 +1.5 =3 mm

so 10 mm = 1 cm

convert 5 cm to mm as 5 * 10 = 50 mm

50-3 = 47 mm or 4.7 cm

Have a awesome night✨
