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 3999 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 3999 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

3999 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 3999 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.3999 km

The final result is:

3999 dm → 0.3999 km

We conclude that 3999 decimeters is equivalent to 0.3999 kilometers:

3999 decimeters = 0.3999 kilometers
