Conversion formula

The conversion factor from deciliters to milliliters is 100, which means that 1 deciliter is equal to 100 milliliters:

1 dL = 100 ml

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

1 dL → 100 ml

20 dL → V_(ml)

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

V_(ml) = 20 dL × 100 ml

V_(ml) = 2000 ml

The final result is:

20 dL → 2000 ml

We conclude that 20 deciliters is equivalent to 2000 milliliters:

20 deciliters = 2000 milliliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 milliliter is equal to 0.0005 × 20 deciliters.

Another way is saying that 20 deciliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0005 milliliters.

Approximate result

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

20 dL ≅ 2000 ml

An alternative is also that one milliliter is approximately zero times twenty deciliters.
