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 800 decimeters into meters we have to multiply 800 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

800 dm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 800 dm × 0.1 m

L_(m) = 80 m

The final result is:

800 dm → 80 m

We conclude that 800 decimeters is equivalent to 80 meters:

800 decimeters = 80 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.0125 × 800 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 800 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0125 meters.

Approximate result

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

800 dm ≅ 80 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero one three times eight hundred decimeters.
