100 millimeters in decimeters

Result

The conversion result is: 100 millimeters is equivalent to 1 decimeters.[1]


Conversion formula
How to convert 100 millimeters to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 mm = 0.01 dm.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of decimeters.

1 mm / 100 mm = 0.01 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (100 mm / 1 mm) * 0.01 dm x dm = 1.0 dm

Conclusion:

100 mm = 1.0 dm


Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 1 times 100 millimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 100 millimeters is equal to 1 / 1 decimeters.


Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: one hundred millimeters is about zero decimeters, or alternatively, a decimeter is about zero times one hundred millimeters.
