Conversion formula
How to convert 138 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 / 138 mm = 0.01 dm / x dm

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

x dm = (138 mm / 1 mm) * 0.01 dm → x dm = 1.3800000000000001 dm

Conclusion:

138 mm = 1.3800000000000001 dm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.72463768115942 times 138 millimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 138 millimeters is equal to 1 / 0.72463768115942 decimeters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: one hundred and thirty-eight millimeters is about zero decimeters, or alternatively, a decimeter is about zero point seven two times one hundred and thirty-eight millimeters.
