120 kilometers in decimeters

Conversion formula
How to convert 120 kilometers to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: $1\mathrm{km}=10000\mathrm{dm}$

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

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

Conclusion: 120 ⁢ km = 1200000 ⁢ dm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 8.33333333333333e-07 times 120 kilometers.

It can also be expressed as: 120 kilometers is equal to $\frac{1}{\mathrm{8.33333333333333e-07}}$ decimeters.
