How many meter is 8 decimeters?
There are .8 decimeters in a meter you can find that out by putting the measurements in order from the smallest to the biggest then putting your number above the form of measurement and each time you need it to be a higher measurement you take a zero away and if there are not any zeros you add a decimal to the front and if there already is a decimal add a zero behind the decimal and in front of the numbers but if you are going to a smaller measurement then all you have to do is place a zero behind your number it is very simple because the metric system is base on powers of ten.
