Conversion formula
How to convert 72 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 / 72 m = 10 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (72 m / 1 m) * 10 dm → x dm = 720 dm

Conclusion:

72 m = 720 dm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.00138888888888889 times 72 meters.

It can also be expressed as: 72 meters is equal to 1 / 0.00138888888888889 decimeters.
