Conversion formula

The conversion factor from deciliters to cubic meters is 0.0001, which means that 1 deciliter is equal to 0.0001 cubic meters:

1 dL = 0.0001 m3

To convert 20 deciliters into cubic meters we have to multiply 20 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from deciliters to cubic meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dL → 0.0001 m3

20 dL → V_(m3)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cubic meters:

V_(m3) = 20 dL × 0.0001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.002 m3

The final result is:

20 dL → 0.002 m3

We conclude that 20 deciliters is equivalent to 0.002 cubic meters:

20 deciliters = 0.002 cubic meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 cubic meter is equal to 500 × 20 deciliters.

Another way is saying that 20 deciliters is equal to 1 ÷ 500 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

20 dL ≅ 0.002 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately five hundred times twenty deciliters.
