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 488 deciliters into liters we have to multiply 488 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

488 dL → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 488 dL × 0.1 L

V_(L) = 48.8 L

The final result is:

488 dL → 48.8 L

We conclude that 488 deciliters is equivalent to 48.8 liters:

488 deciliters = 48.8 liters
