How to convert 217 decimeters to meters?

We know (by definition) that: $1 dm = 0.1 m$

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

\frac{1 dm}{217 dm} = \frac{0.1 m}{x m}

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

x m = \frac{217 dm}{1 dm} * 0.1 m \to x m = 21.700000000000003 m

Conclusion: $217 dm = 21.700000000000003 m$
