Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to centimeters is 10, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters:

1 dm = 10 cm

To convert 150 decimeters into centimeters we have to multiply 150 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 10 cm

150 dm → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 150 dm × 10 cm

L_(cm) = 1500 cm

The final result is:

150 dm → 1500 cm

We conclude that 150 decimeters is equivalent to 1500 centimeters:

150 decimeters = 1500 centimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 0.00066666666666667 × 150 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 150 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00066666666666667 centimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred fifty decimeters is approximately one thousand five hundred centimeters:

150 dm ≅ 1500 cm

An alternative is also that one centimeter is approximately zero point zero zero one times one hundred fifty decimeters.
