An analytical toxicologist uses thin-layer chromatography (TLC) to identify a synthetic cannabinoid in a seized sample.

The active compound, cannabinoid YYY, has an Rf R_f\,Rf​ value of 0.64.

On the TLC plate, the spot for cannabinoid Y Y\,Y is found to have traveled a distance that is 3.15 cm less than the distance traveled by the solvent front.

Calculate the distance traveled by the solvent front, in centimeters.
