Examples
1
Consider that a luxury watch has a case diameter of 5 decimeters. Convert this diameter from decimeters to Inches.
Answer:
Given:
The length in decimeters is:
Length(Decimeters) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from decimeters to inches is:
Length(Inches) = Length(Decimeters) / 0.254
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Decimeters) = 5 in the above formula.
Length(Inches) = 5 / 0.254
Length(Inches) = 19.685
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 dm is equal to 19.685 in.

Decimeters
A decimeter (dm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One decimeter is equivalent to 0.1 meters or approximately 3.937 inches.
The decimeter is defined as one-tenth of a meter, making it a convenient measurement for intermediate lengths.
Decimeters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life. They provide a useful scale for measurements that are larger than centimeters but smaller than meters, and are commonly used in educational settings and certain industries.
Inches
An inch (symbol: in) is a unit of length used mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. One inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.
The inch has origins in ancient times, originally based on the width of a human thumb. Its current definition, established in 1959, is exactly 2.54 centimeters.
Inches are commonly used to measure smaller lengths and distances, such as screen sizes and fabric lengths. Despite the widespread adoption of the metric system, the inch remains in use in these countries.
