Centimeter (abbreviation: cm): is a unit of length in the SI metric system, equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the prefix for a factor of 1/100. The centimetre was the base unit of length in the now deprecated centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system of units.

Y equals 45.76 times 2.54 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 45.76 * 2.54 / 1 = 116.2304 centimeters
Answer is: 116.2304 centimeters are equivalent to 45.76 inches.
