To convert inches to centimeters, we use the conversion factor:  
**1 inch = 2.54 cm**.

Given **5 3/4 inches**, we first convert it into decimal form:

\[
5 \frac{3}{4} = 5 + \frac{3}{4} = 5.75 \text{ inches}
\]

Now, we multiply by 2.54 to convert to centimeters:

\[
5.75 \times 2.54 = 14.605 \text{ cm}
\]

So, **5 3/4 inches** is equal to **14.605 cm**.
