Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to decimeters is 0.1, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.1 decimeters:

1 cm = 0.1 dm

To convert 108 centimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 108 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 0.1 dm

108 cm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 108 cm × 0.1 dm

L_(dm) = 10.8 dm

The final result is:

108 cm → 10.8 dm

We conclude that 108 centimeters is equivalent to 10.8 decimeters:

108 centimeters = 10.8 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.092592592592593 × 108 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 108 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.092592592592593 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

108 cm ≅ 10.8 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero nine three times one hundred eight centimeters.
