Conversion formula
How to convert 50 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 / 50 dm = 0.1 m / x m

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

x m = (50 dm / 1 dm) * 0.1 m → x m = 5.0 m

Conclusion:

50 dm = 5.0 m
