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

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

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

Conclusion:

6 dm = 0.6000000000000001 m
