Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet to decimeters is 3.048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 3.048 decimeters:
1 ft = 3.048 dm
To convert 1 foot into decimeters we have to multiply 1 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft → 3.048 dm
1 ft → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 1 ft × 3.048 dm
L(dm) = 3.048 dm
The final result is:
1 ft → 3.048 dm
We conclude that 1 foot is equivalent to 3.048 decimeters:
1 foot = 3.048 decimeters
