Conversion formula
How to convert 47 millimeters to decimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1⁢mm = 0.01⁢dm

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

1 ⁢ mm 47 ⁢ mm = 0.01 ⁢ dm x ⁢ dm

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

x ⁢ dm = 47 ⁢ mm 1 ⁢ mm * 0.01 ⁢ dm → x ⁢ dm = 0.47000000000000003 ⁢ dm

Conclusion: 47 ⁢ mm = 0.47000000000000003 ⁢ dm

47 millimeters is equivalent to 0.47 decimeters
