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 1200 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 1200 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

1200 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 1200 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 12 dL

The final result is:

1200 ml → 12 dL

We conclude that 1200 milliliters is equivalent to 12 deciliters:

1200 milliliters = 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 0.083333333333333 × 1200 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 1200 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.083333333333333 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

1200 ml ≅ 12 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately zero point zero eight three times one thousand two hundred milliliters.
