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 5000 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 5000 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
5000 ft → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 5000 ft × 3.048 dm
L(dm) = 15240 dm
The final result is:
5000 ft → 15240 dm
We conclude that 5000 feet is equivalent to 15240 decimeters:
5000 feet = 15240 decimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 6.5616797900262E-5 × 5000 feet.
Another way is saying that 5000 feet is equal to 1 ÷ 6.5616797900262E-5 decimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand feet is approximately fifteen thousand two hundred forty decimeters:
5000 ft ≅ 15240 dm
An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero times five thousand feet.
