Conversion formula

The conversion factor from deciliters to cubic centimeters is 100, which means that 1 deciliter is equal to 100 cubic centimeters:

1 dL = 100 cm3

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

1 dL → 100 cm3

5 dL → V_(cm3)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cubic centimeters:

V_(cm3) = 5 dL × 100 cm3

V_(cm3) = 500 cm3

The final result is:

5 dL → 500 cm3

We conclude that 5 deciliters is equivalent to 500 cubic centimeters:

5 deciliters = 500 cubic centimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 0.002 × 5 deciliters.

Another way is saying that 5 deciliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.002 cubic centimeters.

Approximate result

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

5 dL ≅ 500 cm3

An alternative is also that one cubic centimeter is approximately zero point zero zero two times five deciliters.
