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 3048 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 3048 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

3048 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3048 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.3048 km

The final result is:

3048 dm → 0.3048 km

We conclude that 3048 decimeters is equivalent to 0.3048 kilometers:

3048 decimeters = 0.3048 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 3.2808398950131 × 3048 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 3048 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 3.2808398950131 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

3048 dm ≅ 0.305 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately three point two eight one times three thousand forty-eight decimeters.
