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 200 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 200 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

200 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 200 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 2 dL

The final result is:

200 ml → 2 dL

We conclude that 200 milliliters is equivalent to 2 deciliters:

200 milliliters = 2 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 0.5 × 200 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 200 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.5 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

200 ml ≅ 2 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately zero point five times two hundred milliliters.
