Sample Questions
**Question 1: What is the length of the board in inches if it is 250 dm?
**Solution:
To find: The length of the board in inches
Given, Length of the board in decameters = 250
Using the decameter to inches formula,
The length of board in inches
Length(in) = Length (dam) × 393.70078740157
= (250 × 393.7007874)
= 98425.1968 inches
**Question 2: Convert 50 decameter into inches?
**Solution:
Given: 50 dm
To convert it,
Length(in) = Length (dam) × 393.70078740157
= 50 × 393.70078740157
= 19685 .0394 inch.
**Question 3: Convert 50 inches into decameter?
**Solution:
Given: 50 in
1 in = 0.00254 dam
So 50 inches = 50 × 0.00254 dam
= 0.127 dam
**Question 4: How to convert 10 dm into an inch?
**Solution:
Given: 10 mm
Now by formula
**Length(in) = Length (dam) × 393.70078740157
= 10 × 393.70078740157 inch
= 3937.00787 inch
**1 inch = 0.00254 dam
1 dam = 1/0.00254 inch
= 10 / 0.00254
= 3937.00787 inch
**Question 5: Convert 200 dm into an inch?
**Solution:
Using the above formula,
Length(in) = Length (dam) × 393.70078740157
= 200 × 393.70078740157
= 78,740.1574 inch
**Question 6: How to convert 126 dm into an inch?
**Solution:
Given: 126 dm
Using the above formula,
Length(in) = Length (dam) × 393.70078740157
= 126 × 393.70078740157
= 49,606.299 inch.
