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 212 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 212 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

212 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 212 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 646.176 dm

The final result is:

212 ft → 646.176 dm

We conclude that 212 feet is equivalent to 646.176 decimeters:

212 feet = 646.176 decimeters
