Conversion formula
How to convert 242 decimeters to kilometers?
We know (by definition) that: 1 dm = 0.0001 km.
We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of kilometers.
1 dm / 242 dm = 0.0001 km / x km
Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x km = (242 dm / 1 dm) * 0.0001 km → x km = 0.024200000000000003 km
Conclusion:
