Conversion formula

The conversion factor from milliliters to deciliters is 0.01, which means that 1 milliliter is equal to 0.01 deciliters:

1 ml = 0.01 dL

To convert 42.2 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 42.2 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from milliliters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ml → 0.01 dL

42.2 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 42.2 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.422 dL

The final result is:

42.2 ml → 0.422 dL

We conclude that 42.2 milliliters is equivalent to 0.422 deciliters:

42.2 milliliters = 0.422 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 2.3696682464455 × 42.2 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 42.2 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.3696682464455 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

42.2 ml ≅ 0.422 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately two point three seven times forty-two point two milliliters.
