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 4948 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 4948 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

4948 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 4948 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.4948 km

The final result is:

4948 dm → 0.4948 km

We conclude that 4948 decimeters is equivalent to 0.4948 kilometers:

4948 decimeters = 0.4948 kilometers
