Conversion Definitions

The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between milliliters and deciliters.

What is a milliliter (mL)?

A milliliter is a unit of volume in the Metric System. The symbol for milliliter is mL. There are 100 milliliters in a deciliter. The International spelling for this unit is millilitre.

What is a deciliter (dL)?

A deciliter is a unit of volume in the Metric System. The symbol for deciliter is dL. There are 0.01 deciliters in a milliter. The International spelling for this unit is decilitre.

Conversion Formula

Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.

The formula to convert from mL to dL is:

dL = mL ÷ 100

Conversion Example

Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from milliliters to deciliters (mL to dL).

Milliliter to Deciliter Conversion Example

Task: Convert 125 milliliters to deciliters (show work)

Formula:
mL ÷ 100 = dL
