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 25 inches into decimeters we have to multiply 25 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

25 in → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 25 in × 0.254 dm

L_(dm) = 6.35 dm

The final result is:

25 in → 6.35 dm

We conclude that 25 inches is equivalent to 6.35 decimeters:

25 inches = 6.35 decimeters
