The formulas for conversion are represented below:
dm = m * 10
Example: 30 Meters in Decimeters:
dm = m * 10
dm = 30 * 10
dm = 300
m = dm / 10
Example: 1500 Decimeters in Meters:
m = dm / 10
m = 1500 / 10
m = 150
Considering that 1 Meter is equivalent to 10 Decimeters, you can use a rule of three to get that 1.5 Meters equals 15 Decimeters.
1 m - 10 dm
1,5 m - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x m = 15 dm2
x = 15 dm
If every 10 Decimeter we have 1 Meter, just divide the amount of Decimeter (1000) by 10, so you will get that 1000 dm is equivalent to 100 m. Observe the calculation below:
m = dm / 10
m = 1000 / 10
m = 100
