Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to decimeters is 0.01, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 0.01 decimeters:

1 mm = 0.01 dm

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

1 mm → 0.01 dm

108 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 108 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 1.08 dm

The final result is:

108 mm → 1.08 dm

We conclude that 108 millimeters is equivalent to 1.08 decimeters:

108 millimeters = 1.08 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.92592592592593 × 108 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 108 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.92592592592593 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

108 mm ≅ 1.08 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point nine two six times one hundred eight millimeters.
