Conversion formula
How to convert 428 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 / 428 m = 10 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (428 m / 1 m) * 10 dm → x dm = 4280 dm

Conclusion:

428 m = 4280 dm
