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 6960 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6960 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

6960 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6960 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.696 km

The final result is:

6960 dm → 0.696 km

We conclude that 6960 decimeters is equivalent to 0.696 kilometers:

6960 decimeters = 0.696 kilometers

Alternative conversion
