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 320 decimeters into meters we have to multiply 320 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

320 dm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 320 dm × 0.1 m

L_(m) = 32 m

The final result is:

320 dm → 32 m

We conclude that 320 decimeters is equivalent to 32 meters:

320 decimeters = 32 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.03125 × 320 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 320 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.03125 meters.

Approximate result

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

320 dm ≅ 32 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero three one times three hundred twenty decimeters.
