Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to kilometers is 0.0001, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001 kilometers:

1 dm = 0.0001 km

To convert 1138 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1138 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.0001 km

1138 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1138 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1138 km

The final result is:

1138 dm → 0.1138 km

We conclude that 1138 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1138 kilometers:

1138 decimeters = 0.1138 kilometers
