Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters to decimeters is 10, which means that 1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters:

1 m = 10 dm

To convert 6962 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 6962 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m → 10 dm

6962 m → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 6962 m × 10 dm

L_(dm) = 69620 dm

The final result is:

6962 m → 69620 dm

We conclude that 6962 meters is equivalent to 69620 decimeters:

6962 meters = 69620 decimeters
