Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to kilometers is 0.0001, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001 kilometers:

1 dm = 0.0001 km

To convert 200.5 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 200.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.0001 km

200.5 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 200.5 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.02005 km

The final result is:

200.5 dm → 0.02005 km

We conclude that 200.5 decimeters is equivalent to 0.02005 kilometers:

200.5 decimeters = 0.02005 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 49.875311720698 × 200.5 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 200.5 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 49.875311720698 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred point five decimeters is approximately zero point zero two kilometers:

200.5 dm ≅ 0.02 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately forty-nine point eight seven five times two hundred point five decimeters.
