Conversion formula
How to convert 638 kilometers to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 km = 10000 dm.

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

1 km / 638 km = 10000 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (638 km / 1 km) * 10000 dm → x dm = 6380000 dm

Conclusion:

638 km = 6380000 dm
