Conversion formula
How to convert 272 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 / 272 m = 10 dm / x dm
Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x dm = (272 m / 1 m) * 10 dm → x dm = 2720 dm
Conclusion:
272 m = 2720 dm
