Conversion formula
How to convert 5 feet to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 ft = 3.048 dm.

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

1 ft / 5 ft = 3.048 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (5 ft / 1 ft) * 3.048 dm → x dm = 15.24 dm

Conclusion:

5 ft = 15.24 dm
