Converting Decimeters (dm) to Meters (m)

What is Decimeter (dm)?

A decimeter (dm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-tenth of a meter. It is commonly used in situations where measurements are smaller than a meter but larger than a centimeter. This unit is useful for various everyday applications, such as measuring the dimensions of objects or spaces that are between the size of a centimeter and a meter.

What is Meter (m)?

The meter (m) is the base unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to 100 centimeters or 1,000 millimeters. Meters are commonly used to measure longer distances such as the height of a building, the length of a road, or the size of a field. It is the standard unit used for most types of measurement worldwide.

Conversion Formulas

From Decimeters to Meters

To convert from decimeters to meters, you simply divide the number of decimeters by 10:

\text{meters} = \frac{\text{decimeters}}{10}

For example:

  • 1 dm = 0.1 m
  • 8 dm = 0.8 m
  • 15 dm = 1.5 m
  • 6 dm = 0.6 m

From Meters to Decimeters

To convert from meters to decimeters, you multiply the number of meters by 10:

\text{decimeters} = \text{meters} \times 10

For example:

  • 1 m = 10 dm
  • 8 m = 80 dm
  • 15 m = 150 dm
  • 6 m = 60 dm

These simple formulas help you convert between decimeters and meters efficiently.

Example Conversions

Here are a few examples to illustrate the conversion process:

1. Converting 12 Decimeters to Meters

To convert 12 decimeter to meter, divide by 10:

12 , \text{dm} \div 10 = 1.2 , \text{m}

Thus, 12 decimeter is equal to 1.2 meter.

2. Converting 5 Meters to Decimeters

To convert 5 meter to decimeter, multiply by 10:

5 , \text{m} \times 10 = 50 , \text{dm}

So, 5 meter is equal to 50 decimeter.
