Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to yards is 0.10936132983377, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.10936132983377 yards:

1 dm = 0.10936132983377 yd

To convert 253 decimeters into yards we have to multiply 253 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to yards. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.10936132983377 yd

253 dm → L_(yd)

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

L_(yd) = 253 dm × 0.10936132983377 yd

L_(yd) = 27.668416447944 yd

The final result is:

253 dm → 27.668416447944 yd

We conclude that 253 decimeters is equivalent to 27.668416447944 yards:
