Conversion formula
How to convert 6 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 / 6 cm = 0.1 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (6 cm / 1 cm) * 0.1 dm → x dm = 0.6000000000000001 dm

Conclusion:

6 cm = 0.6000000000000001 dm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 1.66666666666667 times 6 centimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 6 centimeters is equal to 1 / 1.66666666666667 decimeters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: six centimeters is about zero decimeters, or alternatively, a decimeter is about one point six seven times six centimeters.
