Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to meters is 0.1, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.1 meters:

1 dm = 0.1 m

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

1 dm → 0.1 m

150 dm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 150 dm × 0.1 m

L_(m) = 15 m

The final result is:

150 dm → 15 m

We conclude that 150 decimeters is equivalent to 15 meters:

150 decimeters = 15 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.066666666666667 × 150 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 150 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.066666666666667 meters.

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 fifteen meters:

150 dm ≅ 15 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero six seven times one hundred fifty decimeters.
