# 160 millimeters in decimeters

## Conversion

160 millimeters is equivalent to 1.6 decimeters.[1]

## Conversion formula How to convert 160 millimeters to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: $1\mathrm{mm}=0.01\mathrm{dm}$

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

$1 ⁢ mm 160 ⁢ mm = 0.01 ⁢ dm x ⁢ dm$

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

$x\mathrm{dm}=\frac{160\mathrm{mm}}{1\mathrm{mm}}*0.01\mathrm{dm}\to x\mathrm{dm}=1.6\mathrm{dm}$

Conclusion: $160 ⁢ mm = 1.6 ⁢ dm$

## Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.625 times 160 millimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 160 millimeters is equal to $\frac{1}{\mathrm{0.625}}$ decimeters.

## Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: one hundred and sixty millimeters is about zero decimeters, or alternatively, a decimeter is about zero point six two times one hundred and sixty millimeters.
