Conversion formula
How to convert 420 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 / 420 m = 10 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (420 m / 1 m) * 10 dm → x dm = 4200 dm

Conclusion:

420 m = 4200 dm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.000238095238095238 times 420 meters.

It can also be expressed as: 420 meters is equal to 1 / 0.000238095238095238 decimeters.
