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 486 deciliters into liters we have to multiply 486 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

486 dL → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 486 dL × 0.1 L

V_(L) = 48.6 L

The final result is:

486 dL → 48.6 L

We conclude that 486 deciliters is equivalent to 48.6 liters:

486 deciliters = 48.6 liters
