The decameter (dam) is used to measure medium-scale distances like the length of a tennis court (~2.3 dam) or a cricket pitch (~2.0 dam). It’s also practical for land surveying and agricultural plots (e.g., a small field might be 10 dam × 20 dam). The Mile (mi) is commonly used in the United States and the UK for road distances (e.g., 10 mi to the next town), marathon running (26.2 mi), and aviation. It's also used in athletics (e.g., 4-minute mile) and car speed limits (mph).
To convert between Decameter (dam) and Mile (mi), use the following formulas:
1 Decameter (dam) = 0.006213711922373339 Mile (mi)
1 Mile (mi) = 160.9344 Decameter (dam)
1 dam = 1 * 0.006213711922373339 mi = 0.006213711922373339 mi
2 dam = 2 * 0.006213711922373339 mi = 0.012427423844746679 mi
5 dam = 5 * 0.006213711922373339 mi = 0.0310685596118667 mi
10 dam = 10 * 0.006213711922373339 mi = 0.0621371192237334 mi
20 dam = 20 * 0.006213711922373339 mi = 0.1242742384474668 mi
