Conversion formula

The conversion factor from liters to deciliters is 10, which means that 1 liter is equal to 10 deciliters:

1 L = 10 dL

To convert 27.4 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 27.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 L → 10 dL

27.4 L → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 27.4 L × 10 dL

V_(dL) = 274 dL

The final result is:

27.4 L → 274 dL

We conclude that 27.4 liters is equivalent to 274 deciliters:

27.4 liters = 274 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 0.0036496350364964 × 27.4 liters.

Another way is saying that 27.4 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0036496350364964 deciliters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-seven point four liters is approximately two hundred seventy-four deciliters:

27.4 L ≅ 274 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately zero point zero zero four times twenty-seven point four liters.
