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 7.2 cubic centimeters into deciliters we have to multiply 7.2 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

7.2 cm3 → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 7.2 cm3 × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 0.072 dL

The final result is:

7.2 cm3 → 0.072 dL

We conclude that 7.2 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.072 deciliters:

7.2 cubic centimeters = 0.072 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 13.888888888889 × 7.2 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 7.2 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 13.888888888889 deciliters.

Approximate result

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

7.2 cm3 ≅ 0.072 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately thirteen point eight eight nine times seven point two cubic centimeters.
