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 380 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 380 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

380 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 380 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.038 km

The final result is:

380 dm → 0.038 km

We conclude that 380 decimeters is equivalent to 0.038 kilometers:

380 decimeters = 0.038 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 26.315789473684 × 380 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 380 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 26.315789473684 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

380 dm ≅ 0.038 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately twenty-six point three one six times three hundred eighty decimeters.
