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 27.4 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 27.4 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

27.4 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 27.4 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 83.5152 dm

The final result is:

27.4 ft → 83.5152 dm

We conclude that 27.4 feet is equivalent to 83.5152 decimeters:

27.4 feet = 83.5152 decimeters
