Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to decimeters is 0.1, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.1 decimeters:

1 cm = 0.1 dm

To convert 1500 centimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 1500 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 0.1 dm

1500 cm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 1500 cm × 0.1 dm

L_(dm) = 150 dm

The final result is:

1500 cm → 150 dm

We conclude that 1500 centimeters is equivalent to 150 decimeters:

1500 centimeters = 150 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0066666666666667 × 1500 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 1500 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0066666666666667 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

1500 cm ≅ 150 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero zero seven times one thousand five hundred centimeters.
