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 42.4 cubic centimeters into deciliters we have to multiply 42.4 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

42.4 cm3 → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 42.4 cm3 × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.424 dL

The final result is:

42.4 cm3 → 0.424 dL

We conclude that 42.4 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.424 deciliters:

42.4 cubic centimeters = 0.424 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 2.3584905660377 × 42.4 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 42.4 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.3584905660377 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

42.4 cm3 ≅ 0.424 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately two point three five eight times forty-two point four cubic centimeters.
