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 5500 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 5500 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

5500 dm → L(km)

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

L(km) = 5500 dm × 0.0001 km

L(km) = 0.55 km

The final result is:

5500 dm → 0.55 km

We conclude that 5500 decimeters is equivalent to 0.55 kilometers:

5500 decimeters = 0.55 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 1.8181818181818 × 5500 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 5500 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.8181818181818 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand five hundred decimeters is approximately zero point five five kilometers:

5500 dm ≅ 0.55 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one point eight one eight times five thousand five hundred decimeters.
