Examples
1
Consider that a traditional Japanese building is 3 kens wide. Convert this width from kens to Decimeters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 3
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to decimeters is:
Length(Decimeters) = Length(Kens) / 0.04720632942
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 3 in the above formula.
Length(Decimeters) = 3 / 0.04720632942
Length(Decimeters) = 63.5508
Final Answer:
Therefore, 3 ken is equal to 63.5508 dm.
The length is 63.5508 dm, in decimeters.
2
Consider that a Japanese temple's hall is 5 kens long. Convert this length from kens to Decimeters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to decimeters is:
Length(Decimeters) = Length(Kens) / 0.04720632942
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 5 in the above formula.
Length(Decimeters) = 5 / 0.04720632942
Length(Decimeters) = 105.918
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 ken is equal to 105.918 dm.
The length is 105.918 dm, in decimeters.

Kens
A ken is a historical unit of length used in various cultures, particularly in Asia. The length of a ken can vary depending on the region and context. In Japan, one ken is approximately equivalent to 6 feet or about 1.8288 meters.
The ken was traditionally used in architectural and construction measurements, particularly in the design of buildings and layout of spaces.
Ken measurements were utilized in historical architecture and construction practices in Asian cultures. Although not commonly used today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement standards and practices in building and design.
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.
