Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to kilometers is 0.0001, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001 kilometers:

1 dm = 0.0001 km

To convert 80 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 80 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.0001 km

80 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 80 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.008 km

The final result is:

80 dm → 0.008 km

We conclude that 80 decimeters is equivalent to 0.008 kilometers:

80 decimeters = 0.008 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 125 × 80 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 80 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 125 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eighty decimeters is approximately zero point zero zero eight kilometers:

80 dm ≅ 0.008 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one hundred twenty-five times eighty decimeters.
