Conversion formula
How to convert 420 decimeters to millimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 dm = 100 mm.

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

1 dm / 420 dm = 100 mm / x mm

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

x mm = (420 dm / 1 dm) * 100 mm → x mm = 42000 mm

Conclusion:

420 dm = 42000 mm
