The formulas for conversion are represented below:
dm = cm / 10
Exemplo: 30 Centímetros em Decímetros:
dm = cm / 10
dm = 30 / 10
dm = 0,3
cm = dm * 10
Exemplo: 0,5 Decímetro em Centímetros:
cm = dm * 10
cm = 0,5 * 10
cm = 5
Considering that 1 Centimeter is equivalent to 0.1 Decimeter, you can use a rule of three to obtain that 100 Centimeters equal 10 Decimeters.
1 cm - 0,1 dm
100 cm - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x cm = 10 dmcm
x = 10 dm
If every 1 Decimeter we have 10 Centimeters, just multiply the amount of Decimeter (100) by 10, so you will get that 100 dm is equivalent to 1000 cm. Observe the calculation below:
cm = dm * 10
cm = 100 * 10
cm = 1000
