To convert the length from centimeters to inches, we can use the conversion factor that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.
First, we can set up the calculation by dividing the length in centimeters by the number of centimeters per inch:
Length in inches = Length in centimeters / 2.54
Now, substituting the value:
Length in inches = 96 cm / 2.54
This calculates to approximately 37.8 inches (when rounded to one decimal place).
So, the length of the object in inches is about 37.8 inches.
