Conversion formula

The conversion factor from cubic centimeters to deciliters is 0.01, which means that 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 0.01 deciliters:

1 cm3 = 0.01 dL

To convert 21 cubic centimeters into deciliters we have to multiply 21 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic centimeters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm3 → 0.01 dL

21 cm3 → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 21 cm3 × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.21 dL

The final result is:

21 cm3 → 0.21 dL

We conclude that 21 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.21 deciliters:

21 cubic centimeters = 0.21 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 4.7619047619048 × 21 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 21 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 4.7619047619048 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

21 cm3 ≅ 0.21 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately four point seven six two times twenty-one cubic centimeters.
