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 138.9 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 138.9 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

138.9 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 138.9 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 1.389 dL

The final result is:

138.9 ml → 1.389 dL

We conclude that 138.9 milliliters is equivalent to 1.389 deciliters:

138.9 milliliters = 1.389 deciliters
