How to convert decades to decibel (power)s

Convert through a plain ratio: decade → ratio → decibel (power). Logarithmic units cannot be converted by multiplying alone.

Decade: A factor of ten. Bode plots are drawn per decade.

Decibel (power): Ten times the base-10 log of a power ratio. 3 dB is roughly double the power.
