Conversion formula
How to convert 438 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 / 438 m = 10 dm / x dm
Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x dm = (438 m / 1 m) * 10 dm → x dm = 4380 dm
Conclusion:
438 m = 4380 dm
