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 84.4 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 84.4 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

84.4 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 84.4 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 257.2512 dm

The final result is:

84.4 ft → 257.2512 dm

We conclude that 84.4 feet is equivalent to 257.2512 decimeters:
