Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet to decimeters is 3.048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 3.048 decimeters:

1 ft = 3.048 dm

To convert 438 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 438 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 3.048 dm

438 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 438 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 1335.024 dm

The final result is:

438 ft → 1335.024 dm

We conclude that 438 feet is equivalent to 1335.024 decimeters:
