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 72 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 72 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

72 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 72 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 219.456 dm

The final result is:

72 ft → 219.456 dm

We conclude that 72 feet is equivalent to 219.456 decimeters:

72 feet = 219.456 decimeters
