Explanation:

Identify the given values and conversion factor

The wound length is given as \(26\text{ cm}\). We need to convert this length into inches.
Using the standard Unit Conversion factor between the Metric System and the U.S. Customary System:

$$1\text{ inch} = 2.54\text{ cm}$$

Set up the conversion equation

To convert centimeters to inches, we divide the length in centimeters by the number of centimeters per inch:

$$\text{Length in inches} = \frac{26\text{ cm}}{2.54\text{ cm/inch}}$$

Calculate the final value

Perform the division:

$$\text{Length in inches} \approx 10.23622\text{ inches}$$

Round to the nearest hundredth

Rounding \(10.23622\) to the nearest hundredth gives:

$$10.24\text{ inches}$$

Answer:

\(10.24\text{ inches}\)
