Conversion formula

The conversion factor from yards to decimeters is 9.144, which means that 1 yard is equal to 9.144 decimeters:

1 yd = 9.144 dm

To convert 1.5 yards into decimeters we have to multiply 1.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from yards to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 yd → 9.144 dm

1.5 yd → L_(dm)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:

L_(dm) = 1.5 yd × 9.144 dm

L_(dm) = 13.716 dm

The final result is:

1.5 yd → 13.716 dm

We conclude that 1.5 yards is equivalent to 13.716 decimeters:

1.5 yards = 13.716 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.072907553222514 × 1.5 yards.

Another way is saying that 1.5 yards is equal to 1 ÷ 0.072907553222514 decimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one point five yards is approximately thirteen point seven one six decimeters:

1.5 yd ≅ 13.716 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero seven three times one point five yards.
