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 54.2 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 54.2 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

54.2 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 54.2 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 165.2016 dm

The final result is:

54.2 ft → 165.2016 dm

We conclude that 54.2 feet is equivalent to 165.2016 decimeters:

54.2 feet = 165.2016 decimeters
