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 700 decimeters into meters we have to multiply 700 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

700 dm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 700 dm × 0.1 m

L_(m) = 70 m

The final result is:

700 dm → 70 m

We conclude that 700 decimeters is equivalent to 70 meters:

700 decimeters = 70 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.014285714285714 × 700 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 700 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.014285714285714 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred decimeters is approximately seventy meters:

700 dm ≅ 70 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero one four times seven hundred decimeters.
