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 6988 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 6988 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

6988 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 6988 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.6988 km

The final result is:

6988 dm → 0.6988 km

We conclude that 6988 decimeters is equivalent to 0.6988 kilometers:

6988 decimeters = 0.6988 kilometers
