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 500.5 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 500.5 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

500.5 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 500.5 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 1525.524 dm

The final result is:

500.5 ft → 1525.524 dm

We conclude that 500.5 feet is equivalent to 1525.524 decimeters:

500.5 feet = 1525.524 decimeters
