Conversion formula
How to convert 20 decimeters to meters?

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

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

1 dm / 20 dm = 0.1 m / x m

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

x m = (20 dm / 1 dm) * 0.1 m → x m = 2.0 m

Conclusion:

20 dm = 2.0 m

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 meter is equal to 0.5 times 20 decimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 20 decimeters is equal to 1 / 0.5 meters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: twenty decimeters is about zero meters, or alternatively, a meter is about zero times twenty decimeters.
