Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet to decimeters is 3.048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 3.048 decimeters:

1 ft = 3.048 dm

To convert 1720 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 1720 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 3.048 dm

1720 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 1720 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 5242.56 dm

The final result is:

1720 ft → 5242.56 dm

We conclude that 1720 feet is equivalent to 5242.56 decimeters:
