Conversion formula

The conversion factor from milliliters to deciliters is 0.01, which means that 1 milliliter is equal to 0.01 deciliters:

1 ml = 0.01 dL

To convert 0.5 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 0.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from milliliters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ml → 0.01 dL

0.5 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 0.5 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.005 dL

The final result is:

0.5 ml → 0.005 dL

We conclude that 0.5 milliliters is equivalent to 0.005 deciliters:

0.5 milliliters = 0.005 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 200 × 0.5 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 0.5 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 200 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

0.5 ml ≅ 0.005 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately two hundred times zero point five milliliters.
