To find the number of centimeters in 10 inches, you should start by identifying the correct conversion factor from the table. The table lists different conversion factors for inches to various metric units. Specifically, we are looking for the conversion factor from inches to centimeters.

From the table, we see that:

Next, we will multiply the number of inches (10) by this conversion factor.

[tex]\[ 10 \, \text{inches} \times 2.54 \, \text{cm/inch} = 25.4 \, \text{cm} \][/tex]

So the correct conversion factor to use here is 2.54. The best answer is:
