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 130 millimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 130 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

130 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 130 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 1.3 dm

The final result is:

130 mm → 1.3 dm

We conclude that 130 millimeters is equivalent to 1.3 decimeters:

130 millimeters = 1.3 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.76923076923077 × 130 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 130 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.76923076923077 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

130 mm ≅ 1.3 dm

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