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 4.2 deciliters into milliliters we have to multiply 4.2 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

4.2 dL → V_(ml)

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

V_(ml) = 4.2 dL × 100 ml

V_(ml) = 420 ml

The final result is:

4.2 dL → 420 ml

We conclude that 4.2 deciliters is equivalent to 420 milliliters:

4.2 deciliters = 420 milliliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 milliliter is equal to 0.0023809523809524 × 4.2 deciliters.

Another way is saying that 4.2 deciliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023809523809524 milliliters.

Approximate result

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

4.2 dL ≅ 420 ml

An alternative is also that one milliliter is approximately zero point zero zero two times four point two deciliters.
