Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet to decimeters is 3.048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 3.048 decimeters:

1 ft = 3.048 dm

To convert 71 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 71 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 3.048 dm

71 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 71 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 216.408 dm

The final result is:

71 ft → 216.408 dm

We conclude that 71 feet is equivalent to 216.408 decimeters:

71 feet = 216.408 decimeters
