The conversion factor from feet to decimeters is 3.048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 3.048 decimeters:

1 ft = 3.048 dm

To convert 13.8 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 13.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 3.048 dm

13.8 ft → L(dm)

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

L(dm) = 13.8 ft × 3.048 dm

L(dm) = 42.0624 dm

The final result is:

13.8 ft → 42.0624 dm
