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 1550 centimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 1550 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

1550 cm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 1550 cm × 0.1 dm

L_(dm) = 155 dm

The final result is:

1550 cm → 155 dm

We conclude that 1550 centimeters is equivalent to 155 decimeters:

1550 centimeters = 155 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0064516129032258 × 1550 centimeters.
