Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to yards is 0.10936132983377, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.10936132983377 yards:

1 dm = 0.10936132983377 yd

To convert 509 decimeters into yards we have to multiply 509 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to yards. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.10936132983377 yd

509 dm → L_(yd)

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

L_(yd) = 509 dm × 0.10936132983377 yd

L_(yd) = 55.664916885389 yd

The final result is:

509 dm → 55.664916885389 yd

We conclude that 509 decimeters is equivalent to 55.664916885389 yards:
