Conversion formula

The conversion factor from deciliters to liters is 0.1, which means that 1 deciliter is equal to 0.1 liters:

1 dL = 0.1 L

To convert 400 deciliters into liters we have to multiply 400 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from deciliters to liters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dL → 0.1 L

400 dL → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 400 dL × 0.1 L

V_(L) = 40 L

The final result is:

400 dL → 40 L

We conclude that 400 deciliters is equivalent to 40 liters:

400 deciliters = 40 liters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 liter is equal to 0.025 × 400 deciliters.

Another way is saying that 400 deciliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.025 liters.

Approximate result

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

400 dL ≅ 40 L

An alternative is also that one liter is approximately zero point zero two five times four hundred deciliters.
