Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to kilometers is 0.0001, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001 kilometers:

1 dm = 0.0001 km

To convert 3000 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 3000 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.0001 km

3000 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3000 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.3 km

The final result is:

3000 dm → 0.3 km

We conclude that 3000 decimeters is equivalent to 0.3 kilometers:

3000 decimeters = 0.3 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 3.3333333333333 × 3000 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 3000 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 3.3333333333333 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand decimeters is approximately zero point three kilometers:

3000 dm ≅ 0.3 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately three point three three three times three thousand decimeters.
