Don't type in all caps.  It's considered shouting.



Put 65.4cm over 1 like this 64.5cm%2F1



Make a unit fraction using 1in = 2.54cm with the 2.54cm on the bottom

to cancel the cm on the top of the first fraction



65.4cm%2F1×1in%2F%282.54cm%29



Then cancel cm



65.4cross%28cm%29%2F1×1in%2F%282.54cross%28cm%29%29



65.4in%2F2.54 = 25.7480315in  round that off as you're told.
