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 138 cubic centimeters into deciliters we have to multiply 138 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

138 cm3 → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 138 cm3 × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 1.38 dL

The final result is:

138 cm3 → 1.38 dL

We conclude that 138 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 1.38 deciliters:

138 cubic centimeters = 1.38 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 0.72463768115942 × 138 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 138 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.72463768115942 deciliters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred thirty-eight cubic centimeters is approximately one point three eight deciliters:

138 cm3 ≅ 1.38 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately zero point seven two five times one hundred thirty-eight cubic centimeters.
