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 165 inches into decimeters we have to multiply 165 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

165 in → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 165 in × 0.254 dm

L_(dm) = 41.91 dm

The final result is:

165 in → 41.91 dm

We conclude that 165 inches is equivalent to 41.91 decimeters:
