Answer 1

To convert the distance from centimeters to inches, we can use the conversion factor:

1 inch = 2.54 cm

Now, let's convert the given measurement in centimeters to inches:

Distance in inches = Distance in centimeters / 2.54

Distance in inches = 13.1 cm / 2.54 cm/inch

Distance in inches ≈ 5.15748 inches

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the distance from the top to the bottom of Jack's cell phone is approximately 5.16 inches.
