4 books, eh? That makes 8 covers and 20 cm of pages.
The little guy ate through all but two of those covers, so that's 6, at 5 mm each makes 30 mm (3 cm) of cover.
Add that to the 20cm of pages and the total is 23 cm.
This is a little over 8 inches, by the way. Here's a bit more about converting.

He didn't even stop at the Ukrainian scalloped potatoes. I would've.

pages +vol 1 cover + vol2 cover + pages + vol 2 cover + vol 3 cover + pages + vol 3 cover + vol 4 cover + pages.
He did not eat back cover of vol 4.
In metric, if going from smaller measure to larger move decimal to right. if going from larger to smaller move to left.
Order from smallest to largest:
millimeter mm .001
centimeter cm .01
decimeter dm .1
meter m 1.
decameter dm 10. (spelling ?)
hectometer hm 100.
kilometer km 1000.
so each cover is 5 cm and each set of pages is .5 cm. He ate through 6 covers, 30 cm and 4 set of pages, 2 cm. Total eaten: 32 cm or 320 mm. Hope that makes sense to you.

Since the worm started inside the first book, you can disregard its front cover. Just multiply 4 (volumes) by 5 cm and then since 5 mm = 0.5 cm, and the worm ate through one cover on Vol. I, two each on Vol. 2 and 3, and one on Vol. 4, multiply 0.5 by 6 cm.
Then add.
