Conversion formula

The conversion factor from inches to decimeters is 0.254, which means that 1 inch is equal to 0.254 decimeters:

1 in = 0.254 dm

To convert 84 inches into decimeters we have to multiply 84 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from inches to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 in → 0.254 dm

84 in → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 84 in × 0.254 dm

L_(dm) = 21.336 dm

The final result is:

84 in → 21.336 dm

We conclude that 84 inches is equivalent to 21.336 decimeters:
