how do i convert 9dm to meters?
Jeffy, do you not see the possibility that the OP will merely steal the answer from your post and not bother with understanding the conversion? Could you not have omitted that one line from your post?mrjeffy321 said:The prefix on the unit gives you the clue on how to convert it.
dm: decimeter, prex = "deci" = x 10^-1
Multiply The value in decimeters by 1 E-1 to obtain its value in meters,
9 dm * 1 E-1 m/dm = .9 m

To convert 9dm to meters, you can use the conversion factor of 1dm = 0.1m. This means that 9dm is equal to 0.9m. Simply multiply 9 by 0.1 to get the equivalent value in meters.
The formula for converting dm to meters is: meters = decimeters x 0.1. Therefore, to convert 9dm to meters, the formula would be: meters = 9dm x 0.1 = 0.9m.
Yes, you can use a calculator to convert 9dm to meters. Simply enter 9 and multiply it by 0.1 to get the equivalent value in meters.
No, 1dm is not the same as 1m. 1dm is equal to 0.1m, which means that 1m is equal to 10dm. It is important to pay attention to the units when converting between different metric measurements.
To convert 9dm to meters manually, you can use the conversion factor of 1dm = 0.1m. Start by writing down the value 9dm. Then, multiply it by 0.1 and you will get the answer of 0.9m. This method can be used for converting any dm to meters manually.
