The easiest way is to multiply or divide by ten depending on which way your going. If it's getting smaller on the example below (going to the right) multiply. If it's going to the left, or getting larger, divide.
1.kilometer, 2.hectometer, 3.dekameter, 4.meter, 5.decimeter, 6.centimeter, 7.millimeter
1. 1000, 2. 100, 3. 10, 4. 1, 5. .1, 6. .01, 7. .001,
1. thousand, 2. hundred, 3. ten, 4. one, 5. one tenth, 6. one hundreth, 7. one thousanth
To convert to meters, x10-2 for centimeters and x10-1 for decimeters.
1 centimeter = 0.1 decimeters
To convert meters to decimeters, you need to multiply by 10, as there are 10 decimeters in a meter. Therefore, to convert 85 meters to decimeters, you would multiply 85 by 10, which equals 850 decimeters. So, 85 meters is equivalent to 850 decimeters.
a decimeter is 10 centimeters a cubic decimeter is 1000 cubic centimeters 325 cubic centimeters = 325 /1000 cubic decimeters = 0.325 cubic decimeters
If that's a rectangular block, just multiply the three numbers. The volume, of course, will be in cubic centimeters. If you first convert the sizes to decimeters, the answer will be in cubic centimeters, which is the same as liters. If you first convert the sizes to meters, the answer will be in cubic meters.
To convert to meters, x10-2 for centimeters and x10-1 for decimeters.
You divide centimetres by 10 So 5cm = 0.5dm
1 centimeter = 0.1 decimeters
Ten decimeters to the meter.
Meters are greater.
1 decimeter is 10 centimeters. 20 decimeters are 200 centimeters or 2 meters.
6 decimeters is 60 centimeters.
To convert meters to decimeters, you need to multiply by 10, as there are 10 decimeters in a meter. Therefore, to convert 85 meters to decimeters, you would multiply 85 by 10, which equals 850 decimeters. So, 85 meters is equivalent to 850 decimeters.
You can measure the length of your arm in centimeters or millimeters. To convert this measurement to meters, you would divide by 1000 for millimeters or 100 for centimeters. The other units like decimeters, kilometers, and decameters are not typically used for measuring the length of a human arm.
There are 13.716 decimeters in 137.16 centimeters. This is because 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters, so you can convert centimeters to decimeters by dividing by 10.
200 decimeters is larger because if you convert it into centimeters, it equals 2,000 centimeters and 200 centimeters converted into decimeters equals 20 decimeters
a decimeter is 10 centimeters a cubic decimeter is 1000 cubic centimeters 325 cubic centimeters = 325 /1000 cubic decimeters = 0.325 cubic decimeters
