To find the value in decimeter that corresponds to a value in mm, multiply the value in dms by 100 (the conversion factor). Here is the Conversion formula
Value in mm = value in dms × 100
Let's say that you have 1 dm and you want to convert it to mm. By using the conversion formula provided above, you get:
Value in mm = 1 × 100 = 100 mm
This conversion formula works because one mm is equal to 0.01 dms.
To convert a different value in dms, simply replace the value in the formula above with the new value.
What is the Relationship Between Dms and Mm
The Exact Relationship is Defined as follows:
1 mm = 0.01 dms
This means that to convert a measurement from dms to mm, you multiply the value in dms by 0.01.
Using The Calculator
Here is how to switch from dms to mm:
- Determine the measurement in dms that you are working with: For this example, let's use
1 dm
. - Apply the formula: Multiply the value in dms by 100:
Value in mm = 1 × 100
- Perform the calculation: Youmay use want to use a calculator or do the math:
Value in mm = 100 mm
Quick Tips For Mental Math
If you don't have a calculator handy, or you want to do a quick mental estimate, you can approximate:
- Use 100 instead of 100 for a rough estimate.
- For example:
- 1 dm ≈ 100 mm, (100, exactly)
- 2 dms ≈ 200 mm, (200, exactly)
- 3 dms ≈ 300 mm, (300, exactly)
Conclusion
You've learned how to convert dms to mm and vice versa! Use the formula mm = dms ÷ 0.01
for accurate results, or approximate using quick mental math for a rough estimate.
