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 520 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 520 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

520 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 520 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 1584.96 dm

The final result is:

520 ft → 1584.96 dm

We conclude that 520 feet is equivalent to 1584.96 decimeters:

520 feet = 1584.96 decimeters
