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 501 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 501 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

501 ml → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 501 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 5.01 dL

The final result is:

501 ml → 5.01 dL

We conclude that 501 milliliters is equivalent to 5.01 deciliters:

501 milliliters = 5.01 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 0.19960079840319 × 501 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 501 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.19960079840319 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

501 ml ≅ 5.01 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately zero point two times five hundred one milliliters.
