Conversion formula
How to convert 32 centimeters to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 cm = 0.1 dm.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of decimeters.

1 cm / 32 cm = 0.1 dm / x dm

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x dm = (32 cm / 1 cm) * 0.1 dm x dm = 3.2 dm

Conclusion:

32 cm = 3.2 dm


Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.3125 times 32 centimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 32 centimeters is equal to 1 / 0.3125 decimeters.


Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: thirty-two centimeters is about zero decimeters, or alternatively, a decimeter is about zero point three one times thirty-two centimeters.
