1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

Therefore, to find out how many inches are in 2 centimeters, we can set up the conversion calculation as follows:

$Number of inches=\frac{}{}$Number of inches=Conversion factorNumber of centimeters​

Substituting the values:

$Number of inches=\frac{2 cm}{2.54 cm/in}$Number of inches=2.54 cm/in2 cm​

$Number of inches=\frac{2}{2.54} in$Number of inches=2.542​ in

$Number of inches\approx 0.7874 in$Number of inches≈0.7874 in

Therefore, 2 centimeters is approximately equal to 0.7874 inches.

For practical purposes, you can round this value to the nearest hundredth if needed. Hence, 2 centimeters is approximately 0.79 inches when rounded.
