Conversion formula
How to convert 500 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 / 500 in = 0.254 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (500 in / 1 in) * 0.254 dm → x dm = 127.0 dm

Conclusion:

500 in = 127.0 dm
