Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to meters is 0.1, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.1 meters:

1 dm = 0.1 m

To convert 1008 decimeters into meters we have to multiply 1008 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.1 m

1008 dm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 1008 dm × 0.1 m

L_(m) = 100.8 m

The final result is:

1008 dm → 100.8 m

We conclude that 1008 decimeters is equivalent to 100.8 meters:

1008 decimeters = 100.8 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.0099206349206349 × 1008 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1008 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0099206349206349 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand eight decimeters is approximately one hundred point eight meters:

1008 dm ≅ 100.8 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero one times one thousand eight decimeters.
