1000 m to dm - How long is 1000 meters in decimeters? [CONVERT] ✔
1000 meters is equivalent to 10000 decimeters.
We know (by definition) that: 1 m = 10 dm
We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of decimeters.
1 m 1000 m = 10 dm x dmNow, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x dm = 1000 m 1 m * 10 dm → x dm = 10000 dmConclusion: 1000 m = 10000 dm
The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001 times 1000 meters.
It can also be expressed as: 1000 meters is equal to 1 0.0001 decimeters.
Approximation
An approximate numerical result would be: one thousand meters is about ten thousand decimeters, or alternatively, a decimeter is about zero times one thousand meters.
Units involved
This is how the units in this conversion are defined:
Meters
"The metre (international spelling) or meter (American spelling), (from the Greek noun μέτρον, \"measure\") is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299792458 seconds."
Decimeters
The decimetre (British English) or decimeter (American English) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one tenth of a meter (the International System of Units base unit of length), ten centimetres or 1/0.254 (approximately 3.93700787) inches.
[1] The precision is 15 significant digits (fourteen digits to the right of the decimal point).
