8 meters in decimeters

Result

The conversion result is: 8 meters is equivalent to 80 decimeters.^[1]

Conversion formula
How to convert 8 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 / 8 m = 10 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (8 m / 1 m) * 10 dm → x dm = 80 dm

Conclusion:

8 m = 80 dm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0125 times 8 meters.

It can also be expressed as: 8 meters is equal to 1 / 0.0125 decimeters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: eight meters is about zero decimeters, or alternatively, a decimeter is about zero point zero one times eight meters.
