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 5.5 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 5.5 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

5.5 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 5.5 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.055 dL

The final result is:

5.5 ml → 0.055 dL

We conclude that 5.5 milliliters is equivalent to 0.055 deciliters:

5.5 milliliters = 0.055 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 18.181818181818 × 5.5 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 5.5 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 18.181818181818 deciliters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five point five milliliters is approximately zero point zero five five deciliters:

5.5 ml ≅ 0.055 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately eighteen point one eight two times five point five milliliters.
