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 1168 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1168 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

1168 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1168 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1168 km

The final result is:

1168 dm → 0.1168 km

We conclude that 1168 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1168 kilometers:

1168 decimeters = 0.1168 kilometers
