Conversion formula

The conversion factor from milliliters to deciliters is 0.01, which means that 1 milliliter is equal to 0.01 deciliters:

1 ml = 0.01 dL

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

1 ml → 0.01 dL

490 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 490 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 4.9 dL

The final result is:

490 ml → 4.9 dL

We conclude that 490 milliliters is equivalent to 4.9 deciliters:

490 milliliters = 4.9 deciliters

Alternative conversion
