Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters to decimeters is 10, which means that 1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters:
1 m = 10 dm
To convert 1200 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 1200 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m → 10 dm
1200 m → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 1200 m × 10 dm
L(dm) = 12000 dm
The final result is:
1200 m → 12000 dm
We conclude that 1200 meters is equivalent to 12000 decimeters:
1200 meters = 12000 decimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 8.3333333333333E-5 × 1200 meters.
Another way is saying that 1200 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 8.3333333333333E-5 decimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand two hundred meters is approximately twelve thousand decimeters:
1200 m ≅ 12000 dm
An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero times one thousand two hundred meters.
