Conversion formula

The conversion factor from inches to decimeters is 0.254, which means that 1 inch is equal to 0.254 decimeters:

1 in = 0.254 dm

To convert 238 inches into decimeters we have to multiply 238 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from inches to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 in → 0.254 dm

238 in → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 238 in × 0.254 dm

L_(dm) = 60.452 dm

The final result is:

238 in → 60.452 dm

We conclude that 238 inches is equivalent to 60.452 decimeters:
