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 12 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 12 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

12 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 12 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.12 dL

The final result is:

12 ml → 0.12 dL

We conclude that 12 milliliters is equivalent to 0.12 deciliters:

12 milliliters = 0.12 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 8.3333333333333 × 12 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 12 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 8.3333333333333 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

12 ml ≅ 0.12 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately eight point three three three times twelve milliliters.
