A decimeter is 10 centimeters, so 531 cm = 53.2 dm. Because metric measures are based on 10, they are easy to work with. Once the size of the meter was established, based on the circumference of the earth, everything followed form it. One meter is 100 centimeters or 10 decimeters. One cubic decimeter establishes the volume of 1 liter, and on liter of water weighs 1 kilogram. So from the meter with is a measure of length we get a measure of weight. Each trasnlates to 10, 100, 1000 or to 10ths, 100.ths, and 1000ths.
