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 502 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 502 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

502 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 502 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 1530.096 dm

The final result is:

502 ft → 1530.096 dm

We conclude that 502 feet is equivalent to 1530.096 decimeters:

502 feet = 1530.096 decimeters
