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 16 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 16 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

16 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 16 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.16 dL

The final result is:

16 ml → 0.16 dL

We conclude that 16 milliliters is equivalent to 0.16 deciliters:

16 milliliters = 0.16 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 6.25 × 16 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 16 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 6.25 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

16 ml ≅ 0.16 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately six point two five times sixteen milliliters.
