Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to kilometers is 0.0001, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001 kilometers:

1 dm = 0.0001 km

To convert 54.8 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 54.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.0001 km

54.8 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 54.8 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.00548 km

The final result is:

54.8 dm → 0.00548 km

We conclude that 54.8 decimeters is equivalent to 0.00548 kilometers:

54.8 decimeters = 0.00548 kilometers
