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.

To convert to meters, x10-2 for centimeters and x10-1 for decimeters.
1 centimeter = 0.1 decimeters
To convert centimeters to decimeters, divide the number of centimeters by 10, since there are 10 centimeters in a decimeter. For example, if you have 50 centimeters, you would calculate 50 ÷ 10 = 5 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
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 centimeters to decimeters, divide the number of centimeters by 10, since there are 10 centimeters in a decimeter. For example, if you have 50 centimeters, you would calculate 50 ÷ 10 = 5 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.
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.
1 decimeter is 10 centimeters...do the math.
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
