Conversion formula
How to convert 10 inches to decimeters?
We know (by definition) that: 1 in = 0.254 dm.
We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of decimeters.
1 in / 10 in = 0.254 dm / x dm
Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x dm = (10 in / 1 in) * 0.254 dm → x dm = 2.54 dm
Conclusion:
10 in = 2.54 dm
