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 cubic centimeters into deciliters we have to multiply 42 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 cm3 → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 42 cm3 × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.42 dL

The final result is:

42 cm3 → 0.42 dL

We conclude that 42 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.42 deciliters:

42 cubic centimeters = 0.42 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 2.3809523809524 × 42 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 42 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.3809523809524 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

42 cm3 ≅ 0.42 dL

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