Answer
$457.2 \text { cm}$
Work Step by Step
First, convert the given measurement to inches by multiplying $\dfrac{36 \text{ in.}}{1 \text{ yd}}$ to obtain:
$\require{cancel}=5 \cancel{\text{ yd}}\cdot \dfrac{36 \text{ in}}{1 \cancel{\text{ yd}}}
\\=5(36) \text{ in}
\\=180 \text { in.}$
Then, convert inches to cm by multiplying $\dfrac{2.54 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ in.}}$ to obtain:
$\require{cancel}=180 \cancel{\text{ in.}}\cdot \dfrac{2.54 \text{ cm}}{1 \cancel{\text{ in.}}}
\\=180(2.54) \text{ cm}
\\=457.2 \text { cm}$
