Conversion formula

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 138.2 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 138.2 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

138.2 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 138.2 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 421.2336 dm

The final result is:

138.2 ft → 421.2336 dm

We conclude that 138.2 feet is equivalent to 421.2336 decimeters:
