Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Square Meter = 1 m²
   1 Square Decimeter = 0.01 m²
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 m2 = (1 m²) / (0.01 m²/dm2) = 100 dm2
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in m2 by 100 to get the equivalent in dm2

Example Conversion

Convert 5 m2 to dm2:
