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 225 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 225 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

225 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 225 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.0225 km

The final result is:

225 dm → 0.0225 km

We conclude that 225 decimeters is equivalent to 0.0225 kilometers:

225 decimeters = 0.0225 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 44.444444444444 × 225 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 225 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 44.444444444444 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

225 dm ≅ 0.023 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately forty-four point four four four times two hundred twenty-five decimeters.
