To convert \( 2 \, \text{m} + 3 \, \text{dm} \) into decimeters (dm), we first convert meters to decimeters.

1 meter (m) = 10 decimeters (dm).

Now, converting:

\[
2 \, \text{m} = 2 \times 10 \, \text{dm} = 20 \, \text{dm}
\]

Now, adding the \( 3 \, \text{dm} \):

\[
20 \, \text{dm} + 3 \, \text{dm} = 23 \, \text{dm}
\]

So, \( 2 \, \text{m} + 3 \, \text{dm} = 23 \, \text{dm} \).
