To convert 490 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 490 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 L → 10 dL

490 L → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 490 L × 10 dL

V_(dL) = 4900 dL

The final result is:

490 L → 4900 dL

We conclude that 490 liters is equivalent to 4900 deciliters:

490 liters = 4900 deciliters
