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 50 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 50 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

50 ml → V(dL)

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

V(dL) = 50 ml × 0.01 dL

V(dL) = 0.5 dL

The final result is:

50 ml → 0.5 dL

We conclude that 50 milliliters is equivalent to 0.5 deciliters:

50 milliliters = 0.5 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 2 × 50 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 50 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 2 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

50 ml ≅ 0.5 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately two times fifty milliliters.
