Conversion formula
How to convert 237 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 / 237 mm = 0.01 dm / x dm
Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x dm = (237 mm / 1 mm) * 0.01 dm → x dm = 2.37 dm
Conclusion:
237 mm = 2.37 dm
