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 508 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 508 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

508 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 508 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 1548.384 dm

The final result is:

508 ft → 1548.384 dm

We conclude that 508 feet is equivalent to 1548.384 decimeters:

508 feet = 1548.384 decimeters
