Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters to decimeters is 10, which means that 1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters:
1 m = 10 dm
To convert 8.8 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 8.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m → 10 dm
8.8 m → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 8.8 m × 10 dm
L(dm) = 88 dm
The final result is:
8.8 m → 88 dm
We conclude that 8.8 meters is equivalent to 88 decimeters:
8.8 meters = 88 decimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.011363636363636 × 8.8 meters.
Another way is saying that 8.8 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011363636363636 decimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight point eight meters is approximately eighty-eight decimeters:
8.8 m ≅ 88 dm
An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero one one times eight point eight meters.
