## Conversion formula

The conversion factor from inches to decimeters is 0.254, which means that 1 inch is equal to 0.254 decimeters:

1 in = 0.254 dm

To convert 47 inches into decimeters we have to multiply 47 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from inches to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 in → 0.254 dm

47 in → L(dm)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:

L(dm) = 47 in × 0.254 dm

L(dm) = 11.938 dm

The final result is:

47 in → 11.938 dm

We conclude that 47 inches is equivalent to 11.938 decimeters:

47 inches = 11.938 decimeters
