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 3.8 cubic centimeters into deciliters we have to multiply 3.8 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

3.8 cm3 → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 3.8 cm3 × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.038 dL

The final result is:

3.8 cm3 → 0.038 dL

We conclude that 3.8 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.038 deciliters:

3.8 cubic centimeters = 0.038 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 26.315789473684 × 3.8 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 3.8 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 26.315789473684 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

3.8 cm3 ≅ 0.038 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately twenty-six point three one six times three point eight cubic centimeters.
