Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to meters is 0.1, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.1 meters:

1 dm = 0.1 m

To convert 270 decimeters into meters we have to multiply 270 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.1 m

270 dm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 270 dm × 0.1 m

L_(m) = 27 m

The final result is:

270 dm → 27 m

We conclude that 270 decimeters is equivalent to 27 meters:

270 decimeters = 27 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.037037037037037 × 270 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 270 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.037037037037037 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred seventy decimeters is approximately twenty-seven meters:

270 dm ≅ 27 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero three seven times two hundred seventy decimeters.
