Conversion formula

The conversion factor from cubic centimeters to deciliters is 0.01, which means that 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 0.01 deciliters:

1 cm3 = 0.01 dL

To convert 0.4 cubic centimeters into deciliters we have to multiply 0.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic centimeters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm3 → 0.01 dL

0.4 cm3 → V_(dL)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in deciliters:

V_(dL) = 0.4 cm3 × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.004 dL

The final result is:

0.4 cm3 → 0.004 dL

We conclude that 0.4 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.004 deciliters:

0.4 cubic centimeters = 0.004 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 250 × 0.4 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 0.4 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 250 deciliters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that zero point four cubic centimeters is approximately zero point zero zero four deciliters:

0.4 cm3 ≅ 0.004 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately two hundred fifty times zero point four cubic centimeters.
