How to convert 500 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.

1 ⁢ dm 500 ⁢ dm = 0.1 ⁢ m x ⁢ m

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

x ⁢ m = 500 ⁢ dm 1 ⁢ dm * 0.1 ⁢ m → x ⁢ m = 50.0 ⁢ m

Conclusion: 500 ⁢ dm = 50.0 ⁢ m
