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 740 decimeters into meters we have to multiply 740 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

740 dm → L(m)

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

L(m) = 740 dm × 0.1 m

L(m) = 74 m

The final result is:

740 dm → 74 m

We conclude that 740 decimeters is equivalent to 74 meters:

740 decimeters = 74 meters
