200 meters in decimeters

Conversion formula
How to convert 200 meters to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: $1\mathrm{m}=10\mathrm{dm}$

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

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

Conclusion: 200 ⁢ m = 2000 ⁢ dm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0005 times 200 meters.

It can also be expressed as: 200 meters is equal to $\frac{1}{\mathrm{0.0005}}$ decimeters.
