Conversion formula

The conversion factor from liters to deciliters is 10, which means that 1 liter is equal to 10 deciliters:

1 L = 10 dL

To convert 55.3 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 55.3 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 L → 10 dL

55.3 L → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 55.3 L × 10 dL

V_(dL) = 553 dL

The final result is:

55.3 L → 553 dL

We conclude that 55.3 liters is equivalent to 553 deciliters:

55.3 liters = 553 deciliters
