Conversion formula
How to convert 712 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 / 712 mm = 0.01 dm / x dm
Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x dm = (712 mm / 1 mm) * 0.01 dm → x dm = 7.12 dm
Conclusion:
712 mm = 7.12 dm
