The problem is to convert 525 cm to dam (decameters).

1. Problem Description

The problem is to convert 525 cm to dam (decameters).

2. Solution Steps

We need to convert centimeters (cm) to decameters (dam). We know the following relationships:

$1 \, \text{m} = 100 \, \text{cm}$

$1 \, \text{dam} = 10 \, \text{m}$

So, we have:

$1 \, \text{cm} = \frac{1}{100} \, \text{m}$

$1 \, \text{m} = \frac{1}{10} \, \text{dam}$

Therefore:

$1 \, \text{cm} = \frac{1}{100} \times \frac{1}{10} \, \text{dam} = \frac{1}{1000} \, \text{dam}$

$525 \, \text{cm} = 525 \times \frac{1}{1000} \, \text{dam}$

$525 \, \text{cm} = \frac{525}{1000} \, \text{dam}$

$525 \, \text{cm} = 0.525 \, \text{dam}$

3. Final Answer

0. 525 dam
