Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to feet is 0.32808398950131, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.32808398950131 feet:

1 dm = 0.32808398950131 ft

To convert 16.4 decimeters into feet we have to multiply 16.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to feet. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.32808398950131 ft

16.4 dm → L_(ft)

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

L_(ft) = 16.4 dm × 0.32808398950131 ft

L_(ft) = 5.3805774278215 ft

The final result is:

16.4 dm → 5.3805774278215 ft

We conclude that 16.4 decimeters is equivalent to 5.3805774278215 feet:
