# 14 decimeters in meters

## Conversion

14 decimeters is equivalent to 1.4 meters.[1]

## Conversion formula How to convert 14 decimeters to meters?

We know (by definition) that: $1\mathrm{dm}=0.1\mathrm{m}$

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

$1 ⁢ dm 14 ⁢ dm = 0.1 ⁢ m x ⁢ m$

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

$x\mathrm{m}=\frac{14\mathrm{dm}}{1\mathrm{dm}}*0.1\mathrm{m}\to x\mathrm{m}=1.4000000000000001\mathrm{m}$

Conclusion: $14 ⁢ dm = 1.4000000000000001 ⁢ m$

## Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 meter is equal to 0.714285714285714 times 14 decimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 14 decimeters is equal to $\frac{1}{\mathrm{0.714285714285714}}$ meters.

## Approximation
