Conversion formula

The conversion factor from cubic centimeters to deciliters is 0.01, which means that 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 0.01 deciliters:

1 cm3 = 0.01 dL

To convert 5 cubic centimeters into deciliters we have to multiply 5 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic centimeters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm3 → 0.01 dL

5 cm3 → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 5 cm3 × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.05 dL

The final result is:

5 cm3 → 0.05 dL

We conclude that 5 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.05 deciliters:

5 cubic centimeters = 0.05 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 20 × 5 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 5 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 20 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

5 cm3 ≅ 0.05 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately twenty times five cubic centimeters.
