Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to meters is 0.1, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.1 meters:

1 dm = 0.1 m

To convert 680 decimeters into meters we have to multiply 680 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.1 m

680 dm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 680 dm × 0.1 m

L_(m) = 68 m

The final result is:

680 dm → 68 m

We conclude that 680 decimeters is equivalent to 68 meters:

680 decimeters = 68 meters
