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 79 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 79 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

79 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 79 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 240.792 dm

The final result is:

79 ft → 240.792 dm

We conclude that 79 feet is equivalent to 240.792 decimeters:
