Answer
$731.52 \text { cm}$
Work Step by Step
First, convert the given measurement to inches by multiplying $\dfrac{36 \text{ in.}}{1 \text{ yd}}$ to obtain:
$\require{cancel}=8 \cancel{\text{ yd}}\cdot \dfrac{36 \text{ in}}{1 \cancel{\text{ yd}}}
\\=8(36) \text{ in}
\\=288 \text { in.}$
Then, convert inches to cm by multiplying $\dfrac{2.54 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ in.}}$ to obtain:
$\require{cancel}=288 \cancel{\text{ in.}}\cdot \dfrac{2.54 \text{ cm}}{1 \cancel{\text{ in.}}}
\\=288(2.54) \text{ cm}
\\=731.52 \text { cm}$
