$\square$ km
(Type an integer or a decimal.)
Solution
△ Convert 81 dm to km.
○ Convert decimeters to meters.
☼ \( 81 \, \text{dm} = 8.1 \, \text{m} \). Since \( 1 \, \text{dm} = 0.1 \, \text{m} \), multiplying \( 81 \) by \( 0.1 \) gives \( 8.1 \, \text{m} \).
○ Convert meters to kilometers.
☼ \( 8.1 \, \text{m} = 0.0081 \, \text{km} \). Since \( 1 \, \text{km} = 1000 \, \text{m} \), dividing \( 8.1 \) by \( 1000 \) gives \( 0.0081 \, \text{km} \).
✧ The conversion of 81 dm to km results in \( 0.0081 \, \text{km} \).
