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 1255 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1255 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

1255 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1255 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1255 km

The final result is:

1255 dm → 0.1255 km

We conclude that 1255 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1255 kilometers:

1255 decimeters = 0.1255 kilometers

Alternative conversion
