How to convert 23 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 / 23 in = 0.254 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (23 in / 1 in) * 0.254 dm → x dm = 5.8420000000000005 dm

Conclusion:

23 in = 5.8420000000000005 dm
