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 8985 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 8985 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

8985 dm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 8985 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.8985 km

The final result is:

8985 dm → 0.8985 km

We conclude that 8985 decimeters is equivalent to 0.8985 kilometers:

8985 decimeters = 0.8985 kilometers
