Conversion formula
How to convert 28 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 / 28 m = 10 dm / x dm
Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x dm = (28 m / 1 m) * 10 dm → x dm = 280 dm
Conclusion:
28 m = 280 dm
Conversion in the opposite direction
The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.00357142857142857 times 28 meters.
