The decameter is not much more used than other units of length. One of the practical use of decameter is to know the altitude of geopotential heights in meteorology. However, in mathematics, conversion of units is very easy and important since different units are required for different measurements. Let’s learn how to convert decameter into kilometers and vice-versa.

Decameter (dam)

A decameter is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The short for the decameter is dam. Usually, a decameter is alluded to as a decameter and afterward, the image utilized is dkm rather than the dam. There are 100 decameters in a kilometer. The International spelling for this unit is decameter.

kilometer (km)

A kilometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The image for the kilometer is km. There are 0.01 kilometers in a decameter. The International spelling for this unit is a kilometer.

Conversion Formula

How about investigating the change recipe so you can do these transformations yourself with a number cruncher or with an antiquated pencil and paper.

The equation to change over from dam to km is,

km = dam ÷ 100

Sample Questions

Question 1: A teacher has traveled 1500 decameters from his home to school and asked his students to convert them into kilometers, what will be the value after conversion?

Solution:

Formula:

dam ÷ 100 = km

Computations:

1500 ÷ 100 = 15 km

Result:

Students’ answer is 15km

Question 2: Convert 1050 decameters to kilometers.

Solution:

Formula:

dam ÷ 100 = km

Computations:

1050 dam ÷ 100 = 10.5km

Result:

1050 dam is equivalent to 10.5 km

Question 3: Convert 670 decameters to kilometers.

Solution: 

Formula:

dam ÷ 100 = km

Computations:

670dam ÷ 100 = 6.7 km

Result:

670 dam is equivalent to 6.7km

Question 4: Convert 24 kilometers to decameters.

Solution:

Formula:

dam = km × 100

Computations:

dam = 24km × 100 = 2400 dam

Result:

24km is equivalent to 2400 dam

Question 5: A horse runs for a distance of 35km. Convert it into decameters.

Solution:

Formula:

dam = km × 100

Computations:

dam = 35 km × 100 = 3500 dam

Result:

35 km is equivalent to 3500 dam 

Question 6: Convert 25000 decameters into kilometers.

Solution:

Formula:

dam ÷100 = km

Computations:

25000 dam ÷ 100 = 250 km

Result:

25000 decameters are equivalent to 250 km.

Question 7: Convert 500000 decameters into kilometers.

Solution:

Formula:

dam ÷ 100 = km

Computations:

500000 dam ÷ 100 = 5000 km

Result:

500000 decameters are equivalent to 5000 km
