Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to yards is 0.10936132983377, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.10936132983377 yards:

1 dm = 0.10936132983377 yd

To convert 420.5 decimeters into yards we have to multiply 420.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to yards. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.10936132983377 yd

420.5 dm → L_(yd)

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

L_(yd) = 420.5 dm × 0.10936132983377 yd

L_(yd) = 45.986439195101 yd

The final result is:

420.5 dm → 45.986439195101 yd

We conclude that 420.5 decimeters is equivalent to 45.986439195101 yards:
