Conversion

500 meters is equivalent to 5000 decimeters.[1]


Conversion formula
How to convert 500 meters to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1m = 10dm

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

1 m 500 m = 10 dm x dm

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

x dm = 500 m 1 m * 10 dm x dm = 5000 dm

Conclusion: 500 m = 5000 dm


500 meters is equivalent to 5000 decimeters

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0002 times 500 meters.

It can also be expressed as: 500 meters is equal to 1 0.0002 decimeters.


Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: five hundred meters is about five thousand decimeters, or alternatively, a decimeter is about zero times five hundred meters.
