To convert 9 inches to centimeters, you can use the conversion factor that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. Multiply the number of inches (9) by the conversion factor (2.54) to get the equivalent distance in centimeters.

(9 \text{ inches} \times 2.54 \text{ centimeters/inch} = 22.86 \text{ centimeters})

So, the distance from the thumb to the little finger on Erbie Terbium's hand is approximately 22.86 centimeters.
