Conversion formula
How to convert 21 meters to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 m = 10 dm.

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

1 m / 21 m = 10 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (21 m / 1 m) * 10 dm → x dm = 210 dm

Conclusion:

21 m = 210 dm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.00476190476190476 times 21 meters.

It can also be expressed as: 21 meters is equal to 1 / 0.00476190476190476 decimeters.
